Abstract

The pipe organ is often underrepresented in classical music recordings, particularly in immersive audio formats. This paper explores a novel approach to recording and reproducing the organ for immersive formats using a modified Bowles Array. Key considerations for immersive recording and reproduction are examined, including the balance between aestheticism and realism, the role of the LFE channel, and the acoustic characteristics of the recording and reproduction environments, as well as the instrument itself. The findings aim to enhance the immersive audio experience of pipe organ music and provide valuable insights for developing standards in immersive recording and reproduction methods for pipe organ performances.
