Fluxus (means “to flow” in Latin).
It represents different kinds of flows that occur during the course of the piece. In this case it concerns with two elements: harmonic and rhythmic states.
You can easily divide this work into three sections:
1. Floating, harmonic
2. Rhythmical, dancing
3. Merging of these above-mentioned elements.
The listener is free to find out what exists in these sections.
Fluxus was commissioned to the Kumla Organ Festival 2008 and is dedicated to organist
