Min Of Meer Minimal - The Manual Stop

Min of Meer Minimal festival opens this year with a performance by Sander de Keere. De Keere is a radio and podcast maker at Klara (part of Belgian broadcaster VRT) and since several years also composer of minimalistic inspired music. His new album The Manual Stop will be released in October 2026. On this new album, a replica of a baroque Contius organ of Sint- Catharina church in Wondelgem (Gent) emerges as an acoustic synthesizer from pre electronic times. 

The manual stop brings a hommage to the craftmanship of the instrument combined with an adventurous sonic experiment. This results in a compelling listeners experience that offers the spititual as well as synthetic, in repetitive patterns, drone sounds and airy soundscapes that radically changes our expectations of the pipe organ.
