Heh heh! It's very cool playing some French impressionist like Langlais or
Dupre, or maybe a little Bach on a big pipe organ in an empty church in the
middle of the night.

There's an old pipe organ record by Keith Jarrett called "Hymns, Spheres",
in which he uses it like a synthesizer. Very long pieces with basically no
melodies, just tone poems where the sound changes over several minutes by
gradually bringing pipe ranks in and out of the mix. Very trippy.
