luvt (Annie Bloch)
With „luvt“, organist and songwriter Annie Bloch (Cologne, GER) presents a project that is dedicated to the sound realm of the chest organ. "luvt" - derived from the German „luven" = "to turn to the wind" - takes us into a new imaginary space and shows a facet of the pipe organ that can be both powerful and delicate. The album “luvt” will be released on OOH-sounds (Florence, Italy) in fall 2026.

Real and Imagined Spaces, Vol. 2 (Earth World Collaborative)
Earth World Collaborative (with organists and composers Joel Peters and Adrian Foster) explores the deep resonances of the pipe organ through sound transformations using dynamic wind and live electronic sound processing, with excerpts from their recent projects and new works. The result is an immersive sonic experience that blurs the boundary between the real and imagined worlds.

Secondsight
Hajia Maa (Secondsight) is a multidisciplinary creative, singer, and a meditation teacher. In her current artistic universe, she mostly explores music, wellness, and fashion, intertwining meditative chant, experimental soul, and ambient soundscapes. Her performances invite deep listening, rest, and embodied spiritual intimacy.

About Annie Bloch
Annie Bloch is an organist, composer and songwriter based in Cologne, Germany. As an organist she performs solo and in alternating ensemble configurations, mainly working within improvisation. In her composed improvisations Annie Bloch explores states of change. Searching for the ambivalences in a sound and lingering on them, her music resists singular truths. The musical material she draws from is informed by her engagement with the experimental music scene, but also by compositional styles of pop and ambient music.

In 2025 she released her chamber-orchestral pop album “I DEPEND” via Papercup Records (GER). Together with Emily Wittbrodt (cello), she realized „The Mendelssohn-Project“ of recompositions and improvisations based on Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s organ works for organ and cello, that was released on sts|sts records in 2025.
