Ben van Gelder’s Manifold is a tribute to human nature. In this multifaceted programme, the central figure is the organ which breathes and drives, driven itself by an infinite flow of air. The pivot of this project is none other than the British keyboard king Kit Downes. For Van Gelder, Manifold symbolises an exchange between our physical existence and a world that surpasses our understanding, an essential symbiosis between audience and musicians.
