Like a Flame is a double organ music-album with free improvisations by composer, pianist, and concert organist Frederik Magle! "On December 22nd, 2009 I began recording what was to become the album Like a Flame, on a brand new pipe organ. This marked the culmination of 5 years of work, which started when I was hired in 2004 to create the specifications and tonal design for a new organ in Jørlunde church, an 11th century church near Copenhagen, Denmark. As realized by organ builders Frobenius the instrument brings into reality my ideas and wishes for a pipe organ of its particular size. The music I recorded was made in symbiosis with the instrument. The instrument became an extension of my musical thoughts, and at the same time my thoughts were extended by the instrument ... The result is music created with no expectations from anyone, not even myself, because I was so withdrawn from the world whilst composing/improvising. I simply "let the music out" working together with the organ, allowing the pieces to come to life. And alive they came, each like a being with an individual story to tell. Filled with different emotions: joy, hate, love, anger, despair, sorrow, hope, but having one main purpose: to become." - Frederik Magle
