Olivia Block - Wuther

from Touch: Displacing by Various Artists

about

Wuther - to make a sullen roar, as the wind; a low roaring or rustling, as of the wind; to make a rustling sound; to whizz

"During a residency at UNC Chapel Hill Department of Music in 2017, I recorded the mechanical pipe organ in Kenan Music Rehearsal Hall. I chose to mic the organ near the wind chest, so that as I pulled each stop out slowly and played the organ keys, the rushing air tones were captured prominently in the recording.

The durational wind/tone threshold was the focus of my performance, hence the name Wuther. I made the recording in hopes that one day I would have the time to mix it properly for release. The pandemic allowed me the time and mental space to revisit the recording and work on the composition in my studio.

Special thanks to Allen L. Anderson and Barbra Hulka, UNC Chapel Hill Department of Music, for facilitating my visit and arranging the opportunity during my residency to work with the organ." Olivia Block, October 2020
