about

After 'Mutatis mutandis' [Spire 7.1, 2020], 'Bis dat', meaning 'Give more’, features 8 exclusive new compositions, using source material from 'Semper Liber', the album from The Eternal Chord collective of musicians (or not…)… Immersive and compelling, challenging and seductive, 'Bis dat' expands the organ repertoire into new territory, earthly and unearthly, past and present.

Zachary Paul’s violin and electronics plunge into the deep and he reimagines a drowned world, the spire still resplendent as creatures take up their new home; Faith Coloccia (Mamiffer, SIGE) continues her voice explorations and takes us to the skies, seeking the thermals - beyond the planets, even - while BJNilsen rams home the power of the beast (the organ was above all an instrument of clerical authority), a blistering piece using organ samples from Henry Willis’s Union Chapel organ in London. Alcibiades (Jay Glass Dubs & venoztks) combine Balkanology with organ samples to create a haunting, swirling miasmic oracle, and Yen-Ting Hsu guides us to gentler pastures with ’Summer whisper’. But danger lurks therein - we know what’s coming and there are always storms close by - and Rhodri Davies reminds us you can’t tame the beast, merely accompany and marvel. His unaccompanied harp fought the sounds of building reconstruction at his location - we don’t control these things, merely adapt and struggle on. strom|morts (swiss post-metal veterans) present a rich, massive alpine and wise gloom of sonics. And to finish the journey, or more likely start it, The Eternal Chord’s 'Omnia transeunt' is impossible to pin down and grasp firmly where it is - and where it might go! Plucked from the ether and moulded into a tuneful (at times) trip into another atmosphere. Let’s Go!

Immersive and compelling, 'Bis dat' expands the organ repertoire into new territory. Oh my!

Dedicated to Didier Séverin of strom|morts, who left us too early.

about

Spire London, UK

An improvised group made up of the Spire players, explores the sonics of the mighty organ, in all its thundering glory. A free range is given to the players to dive into musical territory they cannot do with scored work. Initially set up to provide links between the main sets, The Eternal Chord has evolved into one of the acts in its own right and has become a mainstay of all Spire live events. ... more
