In ‘the Laboratorium’ the boundless musical and technical possibilities of the Fokker organ form the starting point for newly composed works by several talented young composers. The richness of microtones and the extraordinary computer-controlled technology of this unprecedented 31-tone organ has greatly increased composers’ desire to explore new musical ideas for the instrument.
