Áine O'Dwyer: Pipe Organ
ISSUE Project Room presents Irish composer/performer/musician Áine O'Dwyer in a live improvisatory performance for pipe organ at the First Unitarian Church in Brooklyn Heights. As a young teenager, O'Dwyer was schooled in a Catholic convent, where she requested her music teacher Sr. Cecilia, to teach her to play the pipe organ. As it turned out, she was refused. Though a disappointment at the time, years later the experience inspired her to freely explore the parameters of the instrument.
Primarily a harpist, In 2011, O'Dwyer was given access to the pipe organ in St Mark's Church, Islington, for several months while the cleaners were at work, a rare opportunity to grapple with the "king of instruments" and apply her sense of melodic, structured improvisation to a new context. The result was her much celebrated release, "Music For Church Cleaners vol. I and II", a series of solo improvisations that qualify simultaneously as a live recording, site-specific performance art with a Cagean mindset, and field recording.
