about

‘Every time I re-read the book 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by J. Verne I was always fascinated by the question of how Captain Nemo’s organ, on board the Nautilus, must have sounded. In the summer of 1971, whilst listening to my piece ÜBUNGEN for tape (1971, with sounds generated from an electronic organ and synthesizer) I believed myself to have come near to this sound. The mixture of ÜBUNGEN with sounds of a real organ created a mixture which is both unique and bizarre, and suggestive of the sound of the Nautilus. The main parameters of ÜBUNGEN are timbre and continuity. The timbre moves between sine-like tones and white noise, through a very carefully thought-out scheme where continuity is the main criteria. The same rules control the organ part. It clearly moves according to its own scheme. The paths of the organ part and the tape part meet, they cross over and accompany themselves and therefore create a labyrinth: a labyrinth that represents the curious structure of psychic meandering conceived by J. Verne. Nemo’s Organ was written for S. Szathmary and was premiered at the Metz Festival in 1990.’ (Mesias Maiguashca, trans. Alistair Zaldua)
