The ninth edition opens with a unique concert evening ‘Organ/Body’ in collaboration with Orgelpark. Here we explore the fusion between organ sounds, software and music, with two concerts made especially for, and partly within, the Orgelpark. Dutch sound artist and composer Casimir Geelhoed presents the premiere of ‘Deviations’, followed by the Swedish composers Maria W Horn & Mats Erlandsson. The latter will present special readapted versions of their piece ‘The Spectral Organ’.
