Form and Deform

Form and Deform represents a continuation in the composing and performing on my favorite instrument, the Magnus electric toy organ. Bought on eBay about five years ago, this instrument is completely vintage and has continued to provide me musical inspiration ever since. Besides my love of the unique sound and tuning that the instrument produces, I also feel that it physically fits my body as a performer very well. I have a weak left hand, and thus the setup of the toy organ of chord buttons on the left and the keyboard portion of the instrument on the right personally feels very comfortable for me to perform on.

Therefore with this work, I wanted to challenge the limits and interaction between my different hands to see what happens when the two supplant one another’s roles, thus forming and deforming over the course of the piece.
