Organ Sound Art Festival is a four-day festival of music, sound art and performance held in KoncertKirken, where musicians, composers and sound artists explore the church's pipe organs. Since 2016 the festival has invited artists to engage with the instrument's sound, mechanics and cultural and spiritual associations, with work ranging from minimalist, electronic and drone soundscapes to sensitive compositional music and performative installations.
This year's programme brings the organ in many guises, from a medieval portative organ and Scottish bagpipes to the kadedek, a traditional mouth organ with bamboo pipes from Kalimantan in Borneo. Artists from Chile, France, Sweden, Poland, Indonesia and the UK take part, alongside students from the Danish Institute of Contemporary Music performing new music on the final afternoon.
