"The organ belongs in the church. I love playing in sacred spaces, as that's where the organ sounds best. At the same time I want to have the freedom and the opportunity to get the organ into places where it can't normally be heard. And that's what led me to want to build my own touring instrument."
"My instrument was custom-built by Eduard Toman's Czech company Shan, which created my ideal organ, fulfilling all the technical criteria and parameters necessary for playing everything from the classical repertoire to my own experimental projects. The result is a sleekly-designed white organ with a light yet sufficiently resilient construction that makes it suited to touring." (www.shan.cz)
"My organ sound is made up of samples of some of the most beautiful instruments from various countries and historical periods. Working with Jiri Zurek, the head of the Sonus Paradisi project, and his team, I documented original and rare instruments from around the world to create a unique palette of organ sounds that represents my ideal for the instrument."
