Composer and producer Anushka Chkheidze presents her composition Intricate Pipes in this edition of Silence: a project in which she plays pipe organs as a programmable instrument using digital tools. The eighteenth-century Vater-Müller organ becomes part of an electronic setup in which structure, timing, and harmony are taken to new dimensions.
About Anushka Chkheidze
Anushka Chkheidze is a composer and producer of electronic music from Tbilisi, Georgia, whose genre-transcending work bridges the avant-garde, contemporary classical music, and the world of IDM. As a child, she attended music school and sang folk songs in a youth ensemble. At the age of eleven, she began singing in a small village chapel. Her electronic music is influenced by these early experiences. Chkheidze also composes music for film and theatre. On her debut album Halfie, she discovers a completely new side of herself, exploring ambient and classical influences. Her second album, Move 20-21, is a journey of the mind through space and time.
Intricate Pipes was a joint commission by Monheim Triennale and Gaudeamus Festival and premiered at Monheim Triennale 2025.
About Silence
The music series Silence is a programme of morning concerts. Every first Friday of the month, as the city awakens, musicians explore the centuries-old acoustics of the Oude Kerk. At the heart of the Silence series is contemporary music, where acoustic, digital, and electronic sounds merge. Following in the footsteps of Sweelinck’s walking concerts centuries ago, the audience can move through the historic architecture while engaging with the music.
