9901 Hans van Koolwijk—Bambuso Sonoro
Hans van Koolwijk designs and constructs musical instruments. Van Koolwijk’s life work is the Bambuso Sonoro. It consists of a battery of bamboo flutes, aspirated by a ventilator linked with a specially developed system that provides a variegated wind supply. Valves, keys and membranes influence the tone structure, sometimes with subtlety, at other times with vehemence. Totally new timbres can be created by adjustments to the air supply, the valve system or the number of flutes over which the air is divided, and sometimes it looks as if the flutes are leading an own life, like a living organism. 71+ min, DDD.
...The most immediate comparison is with the organ of classical tradition; but the 11 tracks on Bambuso Sonoro are something more: a listening experience beyond the horizon of what you already knew, and an opening journey towards new expression languages... (Giovanni Pietro Scazzola, l‘Ovadese, 21/10/99).
