‘00:00 ORGAN & ELECTRONICS’

The duo of organist Cindy Castillo and composer Pierre Slinckx combines organ music and electronic sounds. Lit by a mirror ball, the Henry Le Bœuf Hall will resonate with a blend of techno and the Erbarm dich mein, O Herre Gott, BWV 721 chorale by Johann Sebastian Bach, in an extensive piece of work called “C#1”. As a prelude and postlude to C#1, two other works by Bach, the famous Toccata and Fugue, BWV 565, and the final chorus of the Saint Matthew Passion, will fill the hall, as transcribed by Charles-Marie Widor, in an unprecedented fusion with electronic music. The recording of C#1 at the Chant d'Oiseau church in Brussels will be released in October under the Cyprès label, with a pre-release for Organ Night Fever.
