Klangturm

What is more, it listens, breathes and plays while you walk through it. If you go inside, you catch sight of the Cocoon high up in the air – something between a recording studio control desk and a DJ console – which directs the advanced electronics system used for the Klangturm. Even though the Cocoon is not always manned, the Klangturm remains in operation.

It can record the whisper of water, the rumble of thunder or the murmuring and trampling of the public and mix it all into a maelstrom of sounds. This has led to the creation of a sound library, which it uses repeatedly to produce new sound streams. Numerous musicians will perform their own interpretations of the Klangturm. Visitors will have to work out for themselves whether it is they who are playing with the Klangturm, or the other way round.
