The painting Organ Concert depicts aspects of my synaesthetic perception during an organ concerto in the famous Baroque Frauenkirche in Dresden.
The bass frequencies cause horizontal lines in the lower part of the image. Mid and high frequencies excite a visual stream of bright red, green, and yellow colours that ascend upward into the dome. The colours refer to the timbres of the respective organ stops. Colours are reflected in the various parts of the vault according to the reverberation of the sound. The bright and intense sound of the Open Diapason stop (German: Prinzipal) generates silver leaves flowing into the dome.
The concert was held on March 24, 2026, on the occasion of the annual acoustics conference DAGA 2026. The remarkable performance was played by the cantor Matthias Grünert.
