An unedited recording of an improvised performance on the church organ of Saint Salvator. Exploring church organs' textures, in a partly improvised manner, was a primary method I used to select and record material for "Silentium", a composition released on CD by Pogus Productions. This unedited recording is only a small sample of the great variety of organ sounds that were recorded and it has been included in the 50 minutes composition almost in its original form. The organ for the Church was made in 1780 by anonymous builder. He used parts of two older organs which were in the church before. The instrument was recently restored.
