Lars Rasmussen is a Drone Music studio project linking the electric organ with electronic processing. Tonewheel and transistor organ sounds provide sustained chords with a slight vibrato, which are then run through ring modulation, phasing and long reverbs that pull them away from their familiar character.
The pieces sit between church-like solemnity and a faintly science-fiction atmosphere. Chords change rarely, and the movement comes mainly from the rotating effects and the slow drift of modulation depth. Speakers in a resonant room suit the organ’s low register; headphones expose the swirling motion of the effects more clearly.
