"Basically I wanted to replicate the sensation of looking at a rotating Chinese vase. You can see the same motives again and again and again, but your perception is always different each time. You may notice a beautiful hidden detail here, a fine line there, then the irregular glazing, perhaps some cracks on the surface, its elegance, its purpose, its age, etc. Maybe you end up contemplating life itself? 
MING is just a "one-bar composition” that Michael Bonaventure repeats using the endless possibilities of the UTOPA organ at the Orgelpark. 
MING refers to the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644) but it is also an homage to my dear friend composer Chao-Ming Tung who turned 50 this year." LHY

Luiz Henrique Yudo (1962 -) is a Dutch/Brazilian composer of Japanese descent. He received his training as an architect at the University of São Paulo (FAU-USP) and later studied at the Nederlandse Film en Televisie Academie in Amsterdam. 
He studied privately with the Brazilian composer Damiano Cozzella and the American composer Tom Johnson. Many of his compositions are strongly inspired by visual associations. He writes scores in which there are aspects left open to the musicians in order to create an individual interpretation. Performers of his music are therefore invited to play a very active role in the creative process.
