The behemoth of an instrument that’s becoming increasingly rare.
One time the organ director of a local Christian church took me on a tour into the pipe room, you’re literally stepping inside an instrument.
So insane

such a wonderful and beautiful instrument that is very underrated - i’m biased because my dad is a professional organist and a professor of sacred organ music (yes that is a thing - he does in fact have six students in total) so i’ve listened to more organ than the average person - anyway i have such fond memories of him asking me for a song to improvise on (like happy birthday on my bday) and then he would play the closing music at church based on that and it would be like a secret between just us - maybe this is more of a dad appreciation post lol
anyway the organ should be way more appreciated especially outside of religious contexts - it’s such a glorious instrument like just think of the cornfield chase music from interstellar (which coincidentally was performed by a friend of my dad)

Last night I went to a performance in the cathedral of the Interstellar score played live on the organ. It turns out the person playing the organ was actually Roger Sayer, who recorded the original soundtrack! I found it in a little event listings leaflet that are left in cafes and such, those things are a gold mine.

Novels are great and all but a regular habit of bite sized short stories can get you right in a pinch
