Children can enjoy themselves with the LOVE SONG KLANKENBOS installation, as well as a fun ‘children’s size’ walking track through the forest. Ten years after the creation of the first installations, Klankenbos has grown to become an international collection of permanent sound art installations that is unique in Europe. On October 18, the Klankenbos guides will be happy to lead you round installations such as ‘Houses of Sound’, ‘Composed Nature’, and ‘Het Geheim Van Horst’.
As icing on the cake, Musica presents four brand new sound systems: a musical playground item from Laura Maes (see p.101), an interactive audio walk with mobile app from Dutch sound artist Bart van Dongen, the portable/wearable “SelfSimulator”, by Dane Simon Steen-Andersen and a monumental instrument made from PVC by Logos Foundation (3).
