The Hermetic Organ is an album by John Zorn, consisting of a single live improvisation on the Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ of St. Paul's Chapel at Columbia University, which was released on Tzadik Records in June 2012.[1][2] The performance was held at 11 PM on the evening of December 9, 2011,[2] which Zorn has noted was a full moon,[3] as an encore to a "Composer Portrait" ensemble performance of his works held earlier that night at the Miller Theatre.[2] It is the first release by Zorn to exclusively document his solo improvisations on the organ, his first instrument.[4] In 2014, Zorn released a second volume of improvisations, The Hermetic Organ Vol. 2.[5]
