Brendan Faegre about Novel ForcesNovel Forces is a work for the 31-tone microtonal Fokker organ, housed in the small hall of the Muziekgebouw in Amsterdam. It attempts to breath contemporary life into the tonal structures of the late Baroque period through the new chords and scales available in the Fokker organ's unique temperament. It takes a particularly resonant chord from the harmonic series as a fresh "major chord" and then uses this chord within the hierarchies and gravitational forces of traditional tonality.
