Noriko Baba wrote “5 Workouts for Organist” for me in 2016 as a commission by Radio France. I recorded it in 2017 for Anne Montaron’s show “Alla Breve – Création Mondiale”. It is basically for the organ, but plus the use of different flutes, harmonicas, whoopie cushions, whistles and duck calls!

Listen to the whole piece and portrait of Noriko Baba here!

And, I assure you, there is a reason why it’s called “Workouts”….
