OrganOOn
For Electrified02, the young artist Roberta Gigante decided to ‘hack’ the harbour of Ghent with a sound installation that turned twelve rusty, gigantic metal pipes stored there into didgeridoo-like sound cylinders.
The pipes lie next to one another, like separate organ pipes waiting to be brought together in one instrument. Each pipe was sealed off on one side and equipped with a amplifier and sub woofer. Each pipe has its own resonance frequency depending on its thickness, diameter and length. These twelve frequencies are measured and used as the basis for the in situ sound installation. The calculated base tones can be used as keynotes for further musical experiment.
OrganOOn was a one day only organ concert that questions the classical organisation and setting in which concerts are held.
