T.<\/p>\n<p>The Linzer Klangwolke (Cloud of Sound) is in every respect a truly extraordinary open-air event that originated in 1979 in early September in the Austrian city of Linz.<\/p>\n<p>Its defining features have become the legendary innovative, creative use of new multimedia technologies, the enormous physical scale of the production itself, and the audiences that have been attending in huge numbers over the past 30 years. The very first Visualized Klangwolke was the opening event of the Ars Electronica Festival that likewise made its debut in 1979. Back then, a band played the music on site; since 1980, the musical program is performed live in Linz\u2019s Brucknerhaus concert hall and broadcast to the audience gathered in the Donaupark.<\/p>\n<p>This verdant oasis extending about 500 meters along the Danube riverbank right in the heart of downtown Linz is enveloped in a cloud of sound generated by 250,000 watts of electrical power.<\/p>\n<p>Kicking off each year\u2019s Klangwolke series is the Visualized Klangwolke, in which modern musical works are the centerpiece of a production featuring, among other things, lasers, video projections, fireworks, ships, cranes, balloons, helicopters.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/typa.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/6.-PHIPPS-PLAZA-CEILING-powder-coated-aluminium-fabric-installation.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox-4\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-1354 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/typa.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/6.-PHIPPS-PLAZA-CEILING-powder-coated-aluminium-fabric-installation.jpg\" alt=\"6.
