Birth of a Pipe Organ (2017)

The structure of the film is in a poetic/post modernist/non-linear mode designed to bring forward the power of the organ music, depth of voice of the narrator, and intensity of the experience of the building of the organ. The structure of the film is in part designed to make chordance between tones and sounds within the musical repetoire, and the story as it unfolds, including through works of Marcel Dupres (1833-1897), Maria von Paradis (1757-1824), Samuel Barber (1910-1981), Cesar Franck (1822-1890) and more, and the specificities of the building and voicing of the organ, we hear what is being built.
