Gill Valves

Live pipe organ and electronics.

Immanuel Presbyterian Church, Los Angeles.

Prepared pipe organ parts. Various regions of the pipe organ were activated with percussion, contact mics and a geophone. Aloft in the swell box (a chamber within the pipe organ that houses a specific set of pipes), I recorded the vibrations of individual pipes. Each pipe has a unique resonant signature, and there exist multitudes of resonant expressions to be heard within and all around a pipe organ.
