Zubin Kanga performs Benjamin Tassie's Earth of the Slumbering and Liquid Trees at Het Orgelpark in Amsterdam. This 70-minute epic is played across three keyboards, using samples of historical organs from around the UK and The Netherlands.

To make Earth of the Slumbering and Liquid Trees, Benjamin visited and recorded several notable historical organs in the UK and Europe. These included the Van Straten Organ, a reconstruction of a late-Medieval Dutch organ (dating from 1479) held in the collection at Het Orgelpark, Amsterdam, as well as period instruments at St Cecelia’s Hall, University of Edinburgh (a 1765 Thomas Parker Enharmonic Organ and a Chamber Organ from c.1680), and the Wingfield Organ, a reconstructed English Tudor organ by the makers Goetz and Gwynn. In the work, these sampled organs are played by Zubin, as soloist, using three keyboards simultaneously; two MIDI keyboards and the ROLI Seaboard Rise 2. The piece is in three parts: ‘Earth’, a densely layered opening; ‘Air’, a sensuous, microtonal middle section; and ‘Ocean’, in which layered organs pulse, phase, and undulate. Earth of the Slumbering and Liquid Trees will be performed in the round, immersing audiences in 360-degree sound to engage with modes of ritualised and communal listening.
