The project

The "klangfeld" works with the area Kleefeld as an interactive zone that enables pupils, teachers, administrators, local residents and other users to engage with the sounds of the site and add their own voices, sounds and rhythms; recorded material and musical sounds, to the keynote sounds that determine its environment now.

Kleefeld - Klangfeld proposes to respond and open the school and its surroundings to the local community in order to facilitate integration and participation in the social and civic-life of Kleefeld, Bern Bümpliz, an area which is distinguished by its very multicultural and diverse character.

The project aims to complement and augment the opportunities provided by the site with sonic interventions: accentuating, designing and adding interactions with the sound of the building and its environs in order to bring the invisible elements - voices, music, everyday sounds, ‘Pausenglocke’, cars, planes, birds, church bells, etc., - that illustrate and determine social behaviour and notions of belonging into play.
