Details | "Organ Synthesis" was written for the opening festival of the organ of Stavanger concert hall. It asks for different kinds of wind and percussion players surrounding the audience on high balconies. The music is a site-specific and time-specific composition that could be adapted to other contexts. The original scoring, adapted to the resources from Stavanger culture school, Stavanger Katedralskole and Universitetet i Stavanger, was for 8 flutes, oboe, 6 clarinets, 2 sax, 7 trumpets, horn, 11 trombones, euphonium, tuba, a number of percussion players, dancers, and actors. The basic idea is the creation of the organ sound, through its basic elements wind, wood, metal, hands and feet. The piece is connected to a poem of Øyvind Rimbereid, from "Orgelsjøen".
