The historied Villa Aurora Organ resonates with a sublime frequency in Hanno’s hands. Its timbral qualities—expressed through spiraling Morse code, sustained tones, and everything in between—reveal a rare harmonic depth, one marked by subtle intensity.
A quietly influential figure among electronic and experimental circles since the late 90s, Berlin-based sound artist Hanno Leichtmann has been developing a sprawling and idiosyncratic vision both as a creator and curator.
With a keen sense for charting new territories, Leichtmann's work spawns a multitude of languages, ranging from delicate ambient excursions and techno explorations to numerous sound installations, releases on esteemed labels like Entr’acte, Karl Records, Arbitrary, and The Tapeworm, and collaborations with artists like Valerio Tricoli and Jan Jelinek.
Centered around the Villa Aurora Organ, an intriguing and mostly unknown instrument built in 1928/29 by the Artcraft Organ Company in Santa Monica, California, Outerlands presents a deeply personal approach to the instrument's particular properties, very much in line with Discrepant's ethos. Consisting of a pipe organ, a wall-mounted marimba, and a two-octave tubular bells/chimes ensemble, remotely controllable by MIDI, the Villa Aurora Organ's rich palette of sounds is expressed through 12 short tracks that evoke the mesmerizing spirits of minimalism, exotica, and devotional music.
