In 2003 the foundation Heveskes organ was founded to promote the Heveskes organ and the Helium organ. The origin of this pipe organ with Midi interface lies with artist Peter van Haagen who wants to breathe new life into the pipe organ which development stagnated for 200 years. The tecnical development lies with Arnold Reineking. It is possible to play the organ by the internet and with any midi-instrument or composition-programme. At this moment the foundation is searching for a permanent accommodation where can be worked at the further advancement of the organ. There are also plans for the building of a new "round organ" that can be transported easily and that has the possibilities for the making of optimized sound recordings. Meanwhile the composer and classical guitarist Bert Klok wrote 46 modern compositions for the organ, 16 of which were honoured by the Endowment for the Creative Arts Organisation ("Fonds voor de Scheppende Toonkunst"). Earlier Sander Germanus and Harry de Wit wrote for the Heveskes/helium organ under the provisions of this Fund. Hans-Joachim Hespos, Shigeru Kan-no and Takashi Ono composed in a personal aptitude for the organ. |
