Gamut inc
The retro-futuristic ensemble “gamut inc”, led by composers Marion Wörle and Maciej Śledziecki, creates music theatre and machine music with critical technology focus. Since 2013, they perform internationally with organs and self-built robots, creating film and theatre music. They curate Berlin’s AGGREGATE festival for computer-controlled pipe organs. Their works have been presented at CTM, SONIC ACTS, Sónar, Deutsche Oper Berlin and Berghain among others. They released on Morphine Records and Wergo, received scholarships including Villa Kamogawa in Kyoto, and recently an AI research project.

Gamut inc has dedicated itself to exploring the new possibilities of computer-controlled pipe organs, the so-called “hyperorgan.” This innovative approach allows a computer to play the organ while all sounds are produced by the authentic acoustic pipes, creating a unique blend of traditional and contemporary musical expression.
Led by composers Marion Wörle and Maciej Sledziecki, the ensemble brings their acclaimed AGGREGATE project to Namur for the first time. Since the organ does not have computer control, they bring their organ robots, which will be mounted on the organ’s keyboard.
Rather than merely focusing on superhuman speed and complexity—though that remains part of the experience—gamut inc explores the finest nuances and sound layering techniques more commonly associated with electronic music on the organ. The performance creates a euphoric, intoxicating maelstrom through overlapping, accelerating harmonies that move between harmonic consonance and noise.
Since 2013, this interdisciplinary ensemble has been performing internationally with organs and self-built robots, curating concert formats and festivals across the globe—from Japan to Iceland, Canada, and throughout Europe. Their work explores the critical use of technology in innovative music theater and machine music. Since 2019, they have curated the AGGREGATE Festival in Berlin, dedicated to computer-controlled pipe organs.
Beyond their organ performances, gamut inc creates music-theatre works, including their robot-opera ZEROTH LAW at Deutsche Oper Berlin. This production featured 50 music robots from the Logos Foundation performing alongside the RIAS Chamber Choir as part of their human-machine music theatre trilogy.
With commissions and invitations to festivals such as CTM, SONIC ACTS, Sónar, and more, gamut inc continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible at the intersection of traditional instruments and modern technology.
