About Six Organs of Admittance
Inspired by the East-meets-West solo guitar musings of John Fahey and Robbie Basho, Northern California guitarist Ben Chasny has built a prolific and diverse body of work under the name Six Organs of Admittance. An experimental amalgam of new folk, drone music, percussion, chimes, and strange textures, Chasny delivered an outpouring of eclectic releases in the early 2000s for various small labels before finding a longstanding home on Drag City, where he issued highlights like 2006's Sun Awakens and 2012's Ascent. He later developed a card-based creative system called Hexadic for making music and released several related albums before resuming his primary project with new work like 2021's The Veiled Sea.
