This latest release from Stephen O’Malley consists of two organ drones, each more than 20 minutes, recorded on Les Grandes Orgues at Église Saint‑François, Lausanne.
This 18th-century instrument had been twice updated and expanded. The pieces were played by O’Malley, Kali Malone, and Frederikke Hoffmeier in December 2021.
O’Malley is best known as a co-founder of Sunn O))), where his measured yet high-volume approach helped define a major sub-genre of 21st-century drone and doom metal.
Across projects, collaborations, and commissions, he continued to push into more diverse forms. As a consequence, this pipe-organ recording serves as a logical extension to his works rather than a detour.
