O.R.G.II is an immersive musical work that brings the traditional pipe organ into dialogue with electronic and drone compositions, unfolding within a liminal soundscape — a space of transition and encounter orchestrated by Puce Moment.
In February 2019, Nicolas Devos and Pénélope Michel first engaged with the organ through a 1942 mechanical instrument. From this encounter emerged the album O.R.G., which laid the foundation for their distinctive approach to the organ as both a sonic and conceptual medium.
Longtime collaborator and choreographer Christian Rizzo, aware of Puce Moment’s ongoing exploration of pipe organs, invited them to compose the music for his new piece à l’ombre d’un vaste détail, hors tempête, premiered at the Biennale de Lyon in September 2025.
Ahead of the release of O.R.G.II on 12th June, they’ve unveiled a video for ‘Simoon’. Watch it here:

PUCE MOMENT is the artistic duo of Nicolas Devos and Pénélope Michel, combining visual and sound arts. With backgrounds in fine arts, contemporary arts, and classical music, they founded the experimental electronic group Cercueil in 2005, gaining recognition in the French contemporary music scene through extensive touring. Parallel to this, they launched Puce Moment, a platform for sound research and interdisciplinary experimentation.
Their creations, blending fictional ethnology with diverse musical and visual forms, are characterized by emotional intensity and ritualistic structures, ranging from harmonic clarity to raw distortion. Using electronic and electroacoustic arrangements, they craft immersive soundscapes that merge traditional instruments (like limonary organs or Japanese gagaku) with innovative interpretations. Their work invites active audience participation through spatialized and immersive sound experiences.
