#DidYouKnow:The #Sea#Organ is an architectural sound art object located in Zadar, #Croatia and an experimental musical instrument, which plays music by way of sea waves and tubes located underneath a set of large marble steps.
They are designed as a group of pipes that run under large marble stairs, and the sea waves create air pressure that produces random but fairly harmoniously arranged tones in the pipes.
To celebrate our latest release, our take on Hammond Organ classic, The Cat, we've put together a playlist of 15 times we've wheeled out the Hammond Organ.
By sheer coincidence this sort of thing seems to be all over the UK News at the moment 🤭
🎧 I heard "Do It Till Your Satisfied" the first time the Fall of 1974 when a friend who knew *all the latest Soul on release rolled into the student parking lot one morning blasting it on #8track, windows down. We gathered. We danced. We got high. That's how it was in *my rural South in the #70s.
▶️ My favorite part of this song was/is the 16-second #organ chord at @ 2:11 (in this version).
Australian #Organ buffs will know that Holy Trinity Cathedral in Wangaratta, Victoria, has a fine Henry Willis & Sons and Lewis & Co instrument, originally built in 1922 for a Christian Science Church in Dublin, and installed in Wangaratta in 1992-3. 1/2
There's a guy in Seattle who I sold a cimbalom to 8 years ago and haven't seen in person except during that sale but once in a while he sends me stuff like this cuz he knows I'll be into it🤔 💢 some of these notes sound very "woof" in isolation but so rich and exotic in musical context. I don't even get what's going on here I just like taking it in.😵 🎶 #organ#temperament https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9Enpt8hREg
Found these old church organ pipes in an antiques shop in Hebden Bridge today. There was only a small selection so I was stood there a while blowing down them trying to decide which I liked most. They do sound lovely but I don't have a useful enough selection to be worth building something to play them, so will be mostly ornamental.
Erfrischender Orgelgebrauch von jüngeren Menschen.
Wie ich auch so mit einer meiner buggy (?) HX3.5 Clonewheel hadere und mich diesbezüglich in einem Forum die AWM* zuscheißen, ich hätte einen Hörschaden und würde die falschen Stücke spielen, da erfrischt mich dieses Live-Video besonders.
Weil das Spannende an einer Hammond für mich der pure Sound ist. Die vielen Möglichkeiten innerhalb ihrer Beschränktheit, das Organische, vom leisen grantlerischem Mahlwerk bis zur aufschreienden Diva. Eine glückliche Fügung in der Musikgeschichte, dass dieses Biest erfunden und gebaut wurde.
Der Herr hier im Video weiß zu spielen, aber er weiß eben auch die Sounds zu nutzen.
What’s one of the most generous things you could do right now that could save up to 8 PEOPLE’S LIVES & require only 5 min of your time? And, it costs nothing...
