Pipe organs are complex timbral synthesisers in an early acousmatic setting, which have always accompanied the evolution of music and technology. The most recent development is digital augmentation: the organ sound is captured, transformed and then played back in real time. The present augmented organ project relies on three main aesthetic principles: microphony, fusion and instrumentality. Microphony means that sounds are captured inside the organ case, close to the pipes. Real-time audio effects are then applied to the internal sounds before they are played back over loudspeakers; the transformed sounds interact with the original sounds of the pipe organ. The fusion principle exploits the blending effect of the acoustic space surrounding the instrument; the room response transforms the sounds of many single-sound sources into a consistent and organ-typical soundscape at the listener’s position. The instrumentality principle restricts electroacoustic processing to organ sounds only, excluding non-organ sound sources or samples. This article proposes a taxonomy of musical effects. It discusses aesthetic questions concerning the perceptual fusion of acoustic and electronic sources. Both extended playing techniques and digital audio can create musical gestures that conjoin the heterogeneous sonic worlds of pipe organs and electronics. This results in a paradoxical listening experience of unity in the diversity: the music is at the same time electroacoustic and instrumental.

管和补丁：听增强管风琴

管风琴是早期声学环境中的复杂音色合成器，一直伴随着音乐和技术的发展。最新的发展是数字增强：管风琴声音被捕捉、转换，然后实时回放。目前的增强器官项目依赖于三个主要的美学原则：颤音、融合和工具性。Microphony 意味着声音被捕获在风琴盒内，靠近管道。然后将实时音频效果应用于内部声音，然后再通过扬声器播放；转换后的声音与管风琴的原始声音相互作用。融合原理利用了乐器周围声学空间的混合效果；房间响应将许多单一声源的声音转换为听者所在位置的一致且典型的风琴声景。工具性原则将电声处理仅限于管风琴声音，不包括非管风琴声源或样本。本文提出了音乐效果的分类。它讨论了有关声学和电子源的感知融合的美学问题。扩展演奏技术和数字音频都可以创造音乐姿态，将管风琴和电子设备的异构声音世界结合起来。这导致了多样性统一的矛盾聆听体验：音乐同时是电声和乐器。工具性原则将电声处理仅限于管风琴声音，不包括非管风琴声源或样本。本文提出了音乐效果的分类。它讨论了有关声学和电子源的感知融合的美学问题。扩展演奏技术和数字音频都可以创造音乐姿态，将管风琴和电子设备的异构声音世界结合起来。这导致了多样性统一的矛盾聆听体验：音乐同时是电声和乐器。工具性原则将电声处理仅限于管风琴声音，不包括非管风琴声源或样本。本文提出了音乐效果的分类。它讨论了有关声学和电子源的感知融合的美学问题。扩展演奏技术和数字音频都可以创造音乐姿态，将管风琴和电子设备的异构声音世界结合起来。这导致了多样性统一的矛盾聆听体验：音乐同时是电声和乐器。扩展演奏技术和数字音频都可以创造音乐姿态，将管风琴和电子设备的异构声音世界结合起来。这导致了多样性统一的矛盾聆听体验：音乐同时是电声和乐器。扩展演奏技术和数字音频都可以创造音乐姿态，将管风琴和电子设备的异构声音世界结合起来。这导致了多样性统一的矛盾聆听体验：音乐同时是电声和乐器。
