Jon Liinason, organ
It's a bit difficult to convey the feeling, but let's put it this way. It is, for me, a very special and deeply personal experience to encounter an instrument that TALKS to you (I knooow, strange to speak this way about a machine made of wood and leather and iron and other metals), that has something to say entirely of its own accord; that responds, as it were, when you call out...
Here is a first taste of today's encounter with the unique Söderling organ (1855) in Frändefors church in Dalsland. And a big thank you to Mattias Wennberg, who so generously let us in! 🙂

beautiful sound in a beautiful building. So open, light and airy.

Nice sound recording . The church is beautifully captured and your playing is also beautiful thank you.

I think I know what you're talking about. I am an organ builder and know the inner workings of many different organs quite well and know what is special about the instrument.
Whenever I have the opportunity in my free time, I play the organ myself and am always enchanted by its sound.
Many greetings to Sweden, Roland

Thanks, Roland! It sounds like you really know your way around an organ, both inside and out. That’s impressive! Many greetings from Sweden - keep enjoying those enchanting sounds!

That organ looks like it belongs to 2001: A Space Odyssey's Discovery One.

That's an interesting comparison! The futuristic design of '2001: A Space Odyssey' certainly has a unique aesthetic. It's fascinating to see how different designs can evoke such diverse associations! :)
