Listening to World Organ is a way of experiencing Place, live.

World Organ gathers, shapes and colours the noises around it as well as being activated to palpable effect by the weather, as it streams layers of environmental sounds and the acoustic, harmonic properties it weaves into them.

This sonic encounter with the planet currently comes to you from two wild locations – Lowlandmans Bay, on the Isle of Jura in Scotland [see map] and from Velbastaður on the island of Streymoy in the Faroes [see map]. It is a work by composer and cross media artist Giles Perring.

LISTEN

On headphones, or good speakers, World Organ is intended to impart the visceral impact of climate as it is driven by the wind, rain, and anything else that moves the air in its tubes. Use its web based mixer to choose what you hear. Make your own blend of the two islands soundscapes or pick the stream from one.
