While doing test recordings of shuffling feets in the church of Lissewege (Belgium) with an ambisonic micro suddenly the organ started to play. I moved around to capture some of it. 
It was the 16 year old and very motivated Tim Devogel who came practicing at his towns organ. 
Excerpts. I have the feeling that moving a bit closer with a high stand would have benefits. Decoding using Harpex. In Pachelbel I digitally zoomed a bit toward the organ.
It has to be heard as a study object.

Johan Vandermaelen (°Brussels 1962) is a composer, improvisor, maker of instruments and installations.

Meeting Hugh Davies in the late 70's triggered the interest for making electro-acoustic instruments.

He attended the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp where he studied electronic music under Joris De Laet. As an improvisor you could find him in several groups and combinations. Furthermore he composed music / sounddesign for films (several for Magnum Photo Agency) and played music by and worked with Alvin Lucier, George Crumb, Phill Niblock a.o.
