"Gildia Organorum Hyperborea" is a collaboration between the composers Harry O'Connor and Nicholas Miller. It documents a month of improvised duets between the musicians using the instruments at the Fish Factory Creative Center in Stöðvarfjörður, Iceland.

The project culminated in three things:

*** 10 cassette tapes, each assigned its own color, with entirely unique track listings comprising all of the improvisations between them.

*** 10 custom printed vinyl records featuring a 40 minute long, two part composition the composers crafted out of the improvised material, which can only be heard on the records. Each record has a unique hand painted cover made by the artist Lucy Sherston. (https://www.lucysherston.com/)

*** A live performance at the Fish Factory at the end of the month. This performance comprises the audio for the online release.
