Het Fokkerorgel aangestuurd door een computer

Fokker's 31-tone organ has been one of the first hyperorgans in the world since 2008/2009, according to a study at Harvard University. This means the organ can be controlled via computers, as its operating system is equipped with MIDI in and MIDI out, a language used between computers and musical instruments.

Over the past 15 years, many composers have created works for the laptop-controlled Fokker organ. During this free late afternoon concert, a cross-section of these pieces will be performed.
