Anushka Chkheidze’s composition for a MIDI organ entitled Intricate Pipes was commissioned jointly by the Monheim Triennale and the Gaudeamus Festival and premiered at the Monheim Triennale 2025 on an analog organ using Orgamats.

Intricate Pipes is a composition featuring polyphonic counterpoints, complex arpeggios, and precisely timed delays. The pipe organ becomes part of an electronic setup in which structure, timing, and harmony venture into new dimensions.

Whose genre-defying work bridges the avant-garde, contemporary classical and IDM realms.Her project is based long-held wish to work with the pipe organ — not in a classical sense, but as a programmable instrument expanded by digital tools.
Using Orgamats and Ableton Live, Chkheidze composes and controls intricate organ parts that would be extremely difficult to play manually —featuring layered counterpoint, complex arpeggios, and precisely timed delays. The pipe organ becomes part of an electronic setup where structure, timing, and harmony are pushed to new dimensions.

"HACKED VOICES"

In Tbilisi, hackers broke into public bus payment machines and broadcast pro-democracy messages—transforming everyday infrastructure into tools of resistance. Hacked Voices is inspired by this bold act.

This project moves beyond the physical act of hacking; it reimagines how we listen. In a world where dissenting voices are censored or ignored, Hacked Voices uses sound to make resistance felt. Through raw, unfiltered voice recordings—shifted in frequency, fragmented, stretched, distorted—I explore how sonic disruption can carry emotion, urgency, and solidarity. Each speaker in the installation mirrors the hacked machines of Tbilisi. As visitors approach, the sounds intensify, pulling them into an immersive experience. These machines don’t just speak—they demand to be heard.
