Human Organ Concerto is an audio-visual installation that has to be ‘performed’ by the audience.
An organ is being controlled by the rhythm of breathing of maximum 10 people. They breath through a wireless device that translates their breath into 4 electric pulses, which is connected to 4 different tones of a pipe-organ.
This installation is established with the help of Sjoerd Leijten, Boris Van Heerden, Overtoon, Stormopkomst, WERKTANK, Imal and the builder of the organ from Groningen, father of Marga. There are posters screenprinted by 1STE VERDIEP

Human Organ Concerto is an interactive audio-visual installation that invites the audience to ‘perform’ the piece. The organ’s sound is controlled by the participants’ breathing patterns, captured through wireless devices. These devices translate each breath into four electric pulses, triggering different tones on a pipe organ, for up to 10 people.
