Hmm, so imagine setting up dozens of organs, hundreds, maybe a few thousand in a large circle.
You set them to playing ASLSP in, well, a round, each set to take some long period of time to finish.
If you stand still, you'll hear it at it's ponderous pace, but if you walk, run ahead of the music, it will go faster and faster; if you reverse directions, it will slow down, stop, or even reverse.
- atoav 5y agoOrgans are kinda expensive instruments, but if they just have to play a few notes...
- Bud 5y agoIt's also a lot cheaper if you don't have to install a keyboard and all kinds of stops.
- cptcobalt 5y agoI mean, you could definitely build a bespoke organ for the proposal above: You wouldn't need a manual (keyboard), or any sort of other bits and bobs required for performance (stops, pistons, couplers, pedals). Mini wind chambers per pipe, probably with an interconnected tubing so you could set up this big ring of pipes for people to walk around and observe. As for pipes, it'd just be one rank of pipes—not scores of them like with typical organs—and probably just one blower and bellows. And, given the nature of the performance, some sort of self-powering renewable energy source and battery backup.
- atoav 5y agoOrgans work with air pressure right? Maybe something with a chimey which uses some sort of temperature differencial to produce airflow?
