Organ Donor — Malplacé
Organ Donor’s brand of improvisation extends from compositional spontaneity to genre-hopping, which is something that might be new to some listeners (at least it was to me).
Malplacé is comprised of six tracks taken from a live set a few years back, and sees some pretty weird and great moments, the highlight of which is the second song, “Touch”, which save for a bleeting sax, would be right at home in the field of indie rock – metronomic, heavy bass, lilting clean electric guitar, you get the point. This makes what might otherwise feel like a kind of predictable album of electroacoustic free improvisation from becoming just that. It doesn’t last, for whatever reason, which might be a sacrifice to the gods of chance, or just a wild idea that went somewhere and never stuck in the end.
