A New Stereo and 5.1 Channel Surround Sound Album on Base2 Music from the Edit Master Source!

Recorded in the vast acoustic of the Abbey of Saint-Ouen, Rouen, Infinite: Ambient Improvisations at Saint-Ouen presents a sequence of ambient organ improvisations shaped by space, resonance, and tonal depth. The program unfolds in two parts: the first inward and meditative, grounded in sustained pedal and slowly evolving harmonic fields; the second broader in scale and more theatrical in gesture, culminating in Prelude, Passacaglia and Lament, Op. 6 and the expansive Sonorous works. Performed by Jake Purches on the celebrated Cavaillé-Coll organ of Saint-Ouen, the music draws on the instrument’s warmth, clarity, and architectural power. While Part I favors restraint and interiority, Part II opens outward, embracing fuller registration and heightened dramatic contrast. Captured in high-resolution stereo and true 5.1 Channel Surround Sound, the recording preserves the organ’s scale and the abbey’s extended reverberation. The 5.1 Channel Surround Sound perspective articulates spatial separation between Grand Organ and Choir Organ, enhancing depth and localization within the soundstage. No electronic instruments or Ai used in the project. All sound effects were recorded by Jake Purches.

Positive Feedback

Rushton Paul

Inventive, immersive, and utterly engrossing sonic splendor from one of the great organs of the world—the legendary Cavaillé-Coll of the Abbey of Saint-Ouen. Pure delight. Composer, organist, and recording engineer Jacob Purches offers a real gift for organ fans... fully exploiting the vast resources of this marvelous instrument in the grand acoustic of Saint-Ouen.
This is immersive music—the impact delivered by the massive sonorities of this tremendous organ simply cannot be overstated... the natural result of a legendary instrument, a huge natural acoustic, excellent choices of registration, and the recording skill required to capture it all so beautifully. Highly recommended.
