about

Disposition* - Lucas Norer

"Disposition" is an artistic, acoustic and musical reflection on the largest open-air organ in the world: the Heroes' Organ in Kufstein/Austria.

It is not only the organ’s enormous size and vast dimensions that distinguish it – and which aroused my interest in it – but also its special (tonal) intent and origin.

Assembled in 1931, this organ was conceptualised as a sonorous memorial with a "völkisch" (i.e. ethno-nationalistic), German Nationalist orientation and resounds daily without any objection, examination of its history or reference to its political significance.

The album “Disposition” is part of a limited edition publication with the same title. The artist book and the enclosed USB flash drive (containing the album “Disposition”) encompasses the product of my artistic dealings with the Kufstein Heroes’ Organ. Together with the accompanying texts by Franz Gratl, Michael Gerhard Kaufmann and myself, the artistic exploration presented in this publication reveals the chequered past and present of this instrument and monument in addition to scrutinising its usage, context and political significance as well as its features and aesthetics.

"Disposition" was chosen by A Closer Listen for the 2019 year-end lists of "Top Ten Field Recordings & Soundscape" and "Best Packaging of the Year" .

* The title “Disposition” is a play on words based on the German expression “zur Disposition stellen”, which roughly means to put something up for negotiation or call something into question, and the technical organ term “Disposition”, which refers to the specification, or stoplist, of an organ.
