Organ Sequences is a Berlin-based DIY series focused on experimental music and the organ, aiming to open new possibilities for how this instrument can be played, heard, and understood. The twenty-ninth edition of Organ Sequences takes place at Taborkirche in Berlin-Kreuzberg.
Dirar Kalash performs works that move between traditional instruments and electronics. His music traces ideas of memory, place, and human experience, often combining structure and spontaneity in unexpected ways. That night he will do and pipe organ solo.
Jon Heilbron and Rebecca Lane present composed pieces for double bass, chord organs, and quarter-tone flutes. Jon and Rebecca investigate alternative tuning systems and the subtle ways sound can shift perception. Rebecca lane is a composer and flautist who explores intonation as a social and perceptual practice, particularly focusing on just and rational intonation.
Simon Herody and Romain C. Bertheau perform a set for saxophone and pipe organ. Simon plays saxophone, flute, piano, and tape-based electronics, exploring texture and layering. Since moving to Berlin in 2020, he creates instinctive electro-acoustic ambient on tape and cassette. Romain is a organist, pianist, harpsichordist, and no-input mixer/Vaporwave artist. During his process of creating organ music, he takes into account the instrument’s imperfections, precisely tuned intervals, and the surrounding environmental chaos.
Alexandra Kopelyan and Margaret Unknown perform together as Howling Mystics. Kopelyan combines voice, field recordings, and folk material to shape pieces where sound, tone, and rhythm unfold naturally. Frank and Mizuki Ishikawa create a dialogue of sounds between electronics, objects, and manipulated instruments. Frank uses no-input mixers and a modified resonator guitar to produce sustained vibrations and shifting textures, while Mizuki experiments with feedback and everyday objects, responding to the space and the sounds around her.
