Bram Stadhouders - Big Barrel Organ

On this album, Bram Stadhouders & The Big Barrel Organ guitarist Stadhouders plays the biggest transportable dancehall organ in the world, TheRhapsody, using guitar and MIDI, mixing composition and pure improvisation.

When composing contemporary music for these organs, you hear totally unique sounds, a mix between electronic and acoustic sounds. Thedance-organ is really the first synthesizer. The way we choose sounds on any synthesizer is derived from the barrel organ, says Stadhouders. Theguitarist feels that he's made for this project, a concept that he's been waiting for all his life.
