Tabula Sonorum Organum

Bart van Dongen – organ 
Gonçalo Almeida – double bass 

Tabula Sonorum is a duet by Dutch pianist and composer Bart van Dongen and Portuguese double bassist Gonçalo Almeida, where the exploration of improvised music with a strong minimalist influence pushes the boundaries of traditional piano and double bass playing. The musicians delve into a variety of preparations, experimenting with unconventional techniques to create a unique and diverse range of sounds.

For this particular concert they will present Tabula Sonorum Organum, where the piano is replaced by church organ, creating a unique and powerful musical experience.

The deep, resonant tones of the double bass blend beautifully with the rich and majestic sound of the church organ, creating a sense of grandeur and depth, adding a dramatic and spiritual element to the music.

In a captivating and dynamic musical dialogue, towards meditative minimalism, the performers create a mesmerizing atmosphere that takes the audience on a journey of sound.
