THE SONORITY CABINET IX: a collection of strange, rare and unusual pieces of music from ancient and contemporary times, brought together as a 'cabinet of curiosities', often mixing the glorious sound of Oosthuizen's historic organ with new, electronic textures.
Previous editions include the Mass (2013), Gothic (2014), Fun (2016), Love (2017), Dream (2018), Time (2019), Magic (2023) and Secret (2024).
Michael Bonaventure (1962, Edinburgh) is an organist and composer whose passion lies in unusual and experimental music and the blending of organ with electronic sounds. He performs new compositions for organ and/or electronics by himself & Luiz Henrique Yudo, the founders of this project, and also by American composer Frederick Frahm, the British composer Geoffrey King and the Spanish composer Javier Ruiz, plus works from the Buxheimer Orgelbuch, Pablo Bruna, J. P. Sweelinck & the Beatles. 

The video artist, Thomas Mohr, presented a new work specially created for this event.

Noises From Above: A Study in Quiet Intrusions is an album shaped around the small, persistent sounds that leak into our private spaces—those half-heard murmurs from neighbours, the distant thrum of traffic, the creaks and hums of a building settling into its own rhythms. The tracks capture a different facet of the world that slips past walls and doors, turning everyday disturbances into textures, moods, and emotional landscapes. It’s an exploration of how these subtle intrusions colour our solitude, interrupt our thoughts, and quietly become part of the soundtrack of living in close proximity to others.

I am still looking, trying and experimenting, I really like electronic ambient for many years, but it only works as a live percussionist. In short, nothing is black or white:)
In today's hectic world I need quiet sounds and the vast majority of songs created at night, so are my compositions such as they are.

My tracks is based on the absolute freedom of the use of sound. Arises as if I painted a picture. In the head is the base, and then adding the details here and there.
As well as if I were his music told the story.

I use: Ableton-Live-Suite with Partnerinstrumets, Kontakt Player + virtual instrumentzs,NI-Machine, Ableton Push, Acces Virus TI Snow, Waldorf Blofeld, AKAI MPK 49, Korg Microkorg XL+,KORG Kaossilator,Kaosspad,KORG Wavedrum, Roland HPD 20, nord lead A1 r, Yamaha mx49, Roland Edirol for Fieldrecordings - and various live percussion.(Kalimba, frame drum, tombak, koshi etc)
