“The British cellist’s catalog includes longform drone with Kali Malone and Bach recordings on ECM; her minimalist solo debut is rigorous, austere and breathtaking.” (Pitchfork)

Stephen O’Malley presents Ideologic Organ 
Stephen O’Malley (US/FR) pushed the boundaries of (black) metal toward avant-garde with his drone band Sunn O))). Aside from being a guitarist and producer, O’Malley is also a respected graphic designer and, exactly fifteen years ago, he founded the Ideologic Organ label (with the late Editions Mego label boss Peter Rehberg) that focuses on avant-garde, drone and contemporary compositions.  
“The label is known for its high-quality, boundary-pushing releases and captivating visual art, with curation and art direction still led by O'Malley.” The list of artists is impressive, including Kali Malone and previous BRDCST guests such as cellist Lucy Railton, extreme metal vocalist Attila Csihar and Lukas De Clerck.  
To mark the fifteenth anniversary, O’Malley is spotlighting the label at VanhaerentsArtCollection – an impressive art gallery in an old industrial warehouse a stone’s throw from AB. Blow-ups of Ideologic Organ artwork will also be on display at AB VITRINE (Steenstraat 23-27). 

Lucy Railton presents Blue Veil (curated by Stephen O’Malley)  
Even though Lucy Railton’s (UK/DE) debut Blue Veil was only released in 2025, the cellist already has an impressive track record in the world of avant-garde and contemporary classical music. She organised the Kammer Klang Series in Cafe OTO for ten years, she ran the London Contemporary Music Festival, she reworked Bach for a prestigious release on ECM, and she has shared stages with Bat For Lashes and Bonobo.  
Railton also played a starring role on the ‘awesome pandemic-era’ drone album Does Spring Hide Its Joy (2023) by labelmates Kali Malone and Stephen O’Malley. Railton already performed at BRDCST in 2020. And again this year. Because it had to be. 
Pitchfork: “The British cellist’s catalogue includes longform drone with Kali Malone and Bach recordings on ECM; her minimalist solo debut is rigorous, austere and breathtaking.” 
Lastly, The Wire sings her praises: "Lucy Railton is one of the day's most spellbinding cellists, and her prolific string of releases throughout the past few years is ample evidence to convince any newcomer. Her work is mesmerizingly sculptural: there is a tactile violence to every stroke and pluck but her every motion is in service of a vision for the overarching shape and mood of the resulting piece.”
