Dominik Susteck (organ)About
'Volumina' completely dispenses with the parameters normally used to structure time in a musical work, such as melody, rhythm and harmony. The only active structural parameter in this music is the tone colour. The music is perceived more in a spatial than a temporal sense, with the title referring to differently dimensioned 'stationary' sound spaces.
In the 11-movement piano cycle 'Musica ricercata', Ligeti explores the possibilities of using the 12 chromatic semitones for composition. One of the movements was arranged for the organ by Ligeti himself; the others have been arranged by the organist Dominik Susteck.
Susteck, who performed and recorded these works on the organ of Kunst-Station Sankt Peter in Cologne, also presents an original composition: his organ improvisations 'Sprachsignale' which are inspired by Ligeti’s piece 'Artikulation'. Play loud!
