A Positive

Organs can be divided into three major groups. There are the portative organs that the musician can put on his knee. A larger type is the positive organ. Positive comes from the Latin "ponere" meaning place. One can place and relocate it. Finally, there are the large organs that are constructed in a particular place in a building.

Two positive organs

Having built two positives and composed music for them, I now take the step of presenting all this to a wider audience.

A first time the organs appeared during "De nacht van de verbeelding" 2019 in the Subtropical Greenhouse of the University Botanical Garden in Ghent.

Also during the BeFEM concert on 14 Feb 2024, during the Belgian Music Days, two compositions were presented from this subtropical project "How beautiful is the future ?" but reworked and with the addition of video.

There is also the concert "Luidsprekerfluitjes" on 25 May 2024 at the Orgelpark in Amsterdam, with a full programme of my organ music on these two positive organs.
