Flûte amérindienne algonquine x avant-garde contemporaine x folk minimaliste

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). 
Timothy Archambault (curated by Stephen O’Malley) 
The name Lukas De Clerck (present at BRDCST in 2025 and in 2023, as Bloedneus & de Snuitkever) comes to mind as soon as you mention the name of Miami-based composer/architect/flute player Timothy Archambault (US). 
 Firstly, both are housed by Ideologic Organ. Then, De Clerck explores the extent of the aulos (an ancient Greek and ancient Egyptian wind instrument), while Archambault delves into the Native American flute. It can be clearly heard on his latest album Onimikìg, which is situated at the intersection of contemporary avant-garde and minimalistic folk. 
Archambault plays the traditional Pibigwan, or Algonquin flute, which, according to the Algonquin (an indigenous population of North America), represents the essence of the wind. This is in contrast to other indigenous traditions, in which the flute is often associated with courtship. 
Fun fact: there is no flute to be heard on the opening track of Onimikìg, but rather the sound of rattling ritual chain made from animal bones, including “otter penis bone, fish spine, bear claw, elk teeth and deer hide” that Archambault had received as a gift from an Algonquin Elder.
