unseasonal chaos (2026)

for organ

Dedicated to my dear friend, Sadie Harrison.

Circa 12 minutes duration.

The music is inspired by a deeply personal engagement with the organ, from fairground to cathedral, drawing on distortions, memories, fantasies and inventions shaped by my experiences as a listener of organ music. Additionally, it reflects moments of direct interaction with the instrument—brief, exploratory encounters with the manuals and pedals of small church organs. These attempts to forge a physical connection with the organ’s unique agency have inevitably left their mark, shaping the music’s character through a lens that is both idiosyncratic, reverent, and sometimes rhythmically and polyphonically demanding.
