Hammond Organ Grooves: Organism (HU)

23/05/18, 20:00

(ENG) ORGANISM was formed in 2013 in Budapest (HUN) as a Hammond organ trio (an organ with guitar and drums, where the organist plays the bass) with a singer and the occasional guest musicians.
The band recorded their first album („PRAISE THE NOTES”) in 2016 with original compositions inspired by the deepest organ trio traditions. Their songs however, touch the realm of gospel, tickle the roots of funk while experimenting with the language of contemporary music (where organ is defined as a modern big band, playing complete arrangements and also improvising). 
„ORGANIC IMPRESSIONS” is their newest recording, an experimental orchestral piece in three parts, written by the organist and played by nineteen musicians (Organism worked as rhythm section of the big band). Basically, the composition can be described as a concerto with dialogues between the organ, the trio and the full orchestra.
The band has played at inspiring venues, such as small jazz clubs and festivals of European cities, during their short tours in Czech Republic and Transylvania.
They always work to create unique, stimulating music using new and unusual solutions that correspond to their and their audience’s expectations.

The project is supported by the National Cultural Fund of Hungary.
