Weg from Echo's Bones by Hans van Koolwijk

The first version of Hans van Koolwijk main work, Babuso Sonoro, was created in 1991. Seven years after, Koolwijk presented the piece in the chapel of St. Bernard in Plasy. The recording session was recorded and released as a CD the following year. Bambsuo Sonoro is a kind of variable bamboo organ made up of, at times, over a hundred various pipes ranging in size from a few centimeters to over six meters. Air is carried through the pipes via a ventilator and sound variations are controlled by rods, valves, and pedals. Because playing the instrument is not possible according to classical notation, all the secrets of its manipulation are known only to its designer, who is nevertheless happy to lend it to various musicians.
