"Sounds While Waiting documents the latest organ works by composer and musician Ellen Arkbro -- following her phenomenal debut, 2017's For Organ And Brass, and the more recent CHORDS for organ. Recorded at a centuries-old church in Unnaryd, Sweden in June 2020, these pieces reveal the enchanting qualities of sustained harmonic sound, how patterns of listening dissolve and emerge as textured space. On opening track 'Changes,' long radiant tones ebb and flow like divine breaths, while 'Leaving Dreaming' builds with dynamic tension to unlock a subtle, otherworldly ambience. Arkbro composes for acoustic instruments, for synthetic sound and for combinations of both, including music for orchestra and smaller chamber ensembles and large scale installation works. She currently performs in Catherine Christer Hennix's Kamigaku ensemble and has previously studied with La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela in New York. Recommended for fans of Sarah Davachi, Eliane Radigue, and Charlemagne Palestine."
