“Sensescapes” is an interactive 360° room installation created for the GRASSI Museum of Applied Arts in Leipzig. In collaboration with SCHNELLE BUNTE BILDER and intolight Studio, we developed a cohesive audiovisual experience that guides visitors through design history. The installation allows visitors to interact with and shape audiovisual interpretations of various design styles, offering a unique and personalised sensory journey.

A throwback to February 2020, we collaborated with Battle Royal Studios and Optikalusion on an exciting press launch for Esch – the European Capital of Culture in 2022. One of the event’s highlights was the Sound-Light Tunnel, developed by Battle Royal Studios, which allowed visitors to interactively engage with the exhibition theme, REMIX CULTURE of Esch2022 - European Capital of Culture. Our contribution was a sonic narrative that brought the four thematic aspects of the Capital of Culture to life in a spatially tangible way. Building upon an underlying musical layer that formed the overall dramaturgy, each themeEurope, Nature, Self, and Art—featured its own unique sound world. These environments consisted of numerous AR-Audio-Elements that visitors could explore individually using trackable headphones by usomo by FRAMED immersive projects. Complementing the soundscapes, the light choreography synchronised with the music to create a synesthetic experience. This fusion of audio and visual elements was further enriched by the AR-Audio-Elements, which were adapted based on the visitors’ locations, ensuring a personalised and immersive journey through the pavilion.

We're thrilled to be part of Austria's contribution to the World Expo 2025 in Osaka: "Composing the Future." With our passion for sound as a storytelling medium, we eagerly contribute to the pavilion's musical theme. In close collaboration with local talents, our sound scenography aims to metaphorically depict the harmonious relationship between man, nature, and technology through an immersive sonic experience, capturing Austria's vision of a sustainable and inclusive society. This project is done in collaboration with facts and fiction GmbH. #KLINGKLANGKLONG #AustriaExpo2025 #SoundScenography #Expo2025 #AustrianPavilion #ComposingTheFuture #OsakaExpo

How can AI help us redefine the sounds of our world? At Ars Electronica, we explored how technology transforms music while reminding us of the irreplaceable value of human collaboration. Our work for Meandering River, reflecting nature’s rhythm, to Chasing Waterfalls, the world’s first AI opera, blends art, tech, and years of creative teamwork. AI accelerates processes and sparks new ideas, but the essence of our work lies in the human connections that shape it. Do we value the journey — the collaboration — as much as the destination?

Earlier this year, we took to the TED Conferences stage to explore the transformative power of sound. In our performative talk, we shared the intricacies behind crafting soundscapes that go beyond the auditory, guiding audiences into experiences where technology, nature, and human creativity meet. From field recordings to data-driven music, each sound is a note in a broader story, bridging realms and inviting listeners to experience the invisible forces that shape our world.

In 1989, the coal miners departed from the Belgian coal mine in Beringen. Now the extensive industrial site is being transformed into the Museum MINESET, where our sound scenography will revive the atmosphere of this historic site. Through hyperrealistic soundscapes and media art installations along a 1.7 km path, visitors can feel the raw hum of machinery and the rhythms of a once-thriving industry. By creating a cohesive sonic narrative, we enable visitors to experience history on a deeply emotional and sensory level. Stay tuned as we work to bring Beringen’s industrial heritage to life in an experience that bridges past and present. #KLINGKLANGKLONG #Minesetbe #SoundScenography #IndustrialHeritage #MediaArt #HyperrealExperience #MiningHistory #Beringen #Museum #Soundscapes #ExhibitionDesign #Belgium

Thank you for the throwback Sven Sauer! Two years ago we worked together with some great and talented people to ask the question: What happens when our perception of truth is challenged? This project, MARIONETTE, explores this question through an audiovisual installation created in collaboration with #KünstlerOhneNamen. Part of a broader exhibition on the nature of fakes and misinformation, this piece immerses visitors in an evocative experience. Upon entering, you'll find an inverted sky of tents lit by flickering lights, accompanied by thunder and a rain soundscape. A spatial piano piece threads through the ambient sounds, offering a melancholic and contemplative atmosphere. Inspired by tracking data from the initial rocket detonations in Ukraine on February 22, 2022, MARIONETTE blurs the line between reality and illusion. This installation highlights the critical need for media literacy in today’s world – challenging viewers to discern truth from fiction. #KLINGKLANGKLONG #SoundandLightInstallation #Misinformation #MediaLiteracy #ImmersiveExperiences #SoundArt #AudioVisualInstallation #immersiveart

Join us for an internship where you’ll participate in sound and media projects and gain insights into a broad range of techniques for creating sonic experiences. This internship invites you to be part of sound and media design projects with a broad variety, each offering a new way to understand and shape sound. As a prerequisite for your application, you need to do this internship as a mandatory part of a study program, be fluent in English, and have experience with music and sound production. Ideally, you’re familiar with popular DAWs, such as Pro Tools, Ableton Live, or Max/MSP, and are well organised. A passion for sound — whether sound art, experimental music, or current pop — is essential Please send a small portfolio with your application to ping@klingklangklong.com. If you're interested, you can check out more information about the internship in the link in the comments section. #KLINGKLANGKLONG #SoundDesign #MediaDesign #MusicJobs #MusicJobsBerlin #NewMediaArt

In I AM NOT A ROBOT, visitors are drawn into the acoustic journey of an emerging artificial being—learning, reacting, and coming to “life” through the sounds they create. This large-scale, 3D sound installation transforms participants from active creators to witnesses, mirroring how artificial systems evolve through human input. The industrial stage, crafted with light and sound as neural pathways, represents the “brain” of this entity, inviting visitors to question the fine line between control and consciousness. This project challenges us to rethink our relationship with machines – explore more on our website through the link in the comments section.
