Where man and machine intersect

At the point where human ability meets technological precision, the Fokker organ and the Yamaha Disklavier come together. Live electronics either bridges the gap between these instruments, or dramatically highlights their differences. Either way, an entirely new sound world looms up from the combination of these instruments performed by different composers. In addition, Anne Veinberg joins in on the Fokker organ and the enchanting Carrillo piano.

With the Yamaha Disklavier now a fixture in the Muziekgebouw’s instruments, composers can bring their wildest sound dreams to life. With these two computer-controllable instruments, this is done in many ways. From unbelievable ‘sound clouds’, to complex toccatas and fugues where the machine slowly takes over from the human: everything is possible within this previously unheard world.

The Spectacular Automatic Instruments concert is a collaboration between the Conlon Collective and the Huygens-Fokker Foundation.
