about

A mash up title of 'organ' and 'orgasm', Grenader's original motif concept (what is now part 3) was the first presented idea to the ensemble in Feb of 2016 which at that time consisting of him, Jill Fraser, Chas Smith and Thighpaulsandra. As this piece progressed- and went through many different iterations - in the end it was primarily composed by Jill Fraser/Peter Grenader (Part 1), Thighpaulsandra (Part 2) and Peter Grenader (Part 3). The Coda was a combined effort of Jill Fraser and Peter Grenader

Part 1's initial timbres were realized by Jill Fraser, with Peter Grenader accompanying with the arpeggiated layering (which reappear on part 3) as the piece progresses and the swirls which build to the final crescendo. Thighpaulsandra realized accompanying timbres in final cresendo as well.

Part 2 was Thighpaulsandra's creation who provided most of it's content - outside of the 'ahhhh' drones, the waving panned gestures and glassy timbres by Peter Grenader and the acoustic, electronic, timpani and talking drums by Danny Carey.

Part 3 was largely realized by Peter Grenader with some booming and banging accents at the beginning by Thighpaulsandra, electronic timpani by Danny Carey and feedback/guitar timbres by Jill Fraser.

The Coda consists of two 'ahhhh' choruses (one left, one right) by Peter Grenader with the reoccurring melodic phrases by Jill Fraser.

Technical Notes:

Jill Fraser's timbres were created digitally using Ableton and Push II. Peter Grenader's timbres were largely analog although realized on a hybrid analog/digital modular synthesizer with some secondary processing via computer plug ins which created the shimmer and doppler effects. Thighpaulsandra's timbres were generated on Serge and Eurorack modular systems with a Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 providing the polyphony, while Danny Carey pklayed acoustic drums (toms and bass drum) and sampled timpani/talking drums via Mandala Pads - of which the talking drum timbres processed by an EAR Model 27 After Effects Generator's Digital Delay program 3.
