Revisiting the physical and acoustic principles of organ pipes, the instrument is composed of an airblower, a bellow,several flutes and their own accessories. Like a prepared instrument, each flute operates its own sound mecanism (latex, reeds, foil,…) . An electronic system opens and closes air valves, proposing a sound composition.
