Started back in 2018, Klang has been a multifunctional space focused on both super selected experimental-sounds-based performances, and a creative food & contemporary beverage dimension. Leaving its physical venue boundaries, it started a new and wider life in 2023 as a curatorial studio, creating, designing and developing formats and projects in the experimental-art and vanguard music environments. During these years of activity, Klang quickly raised a national as well as european interest, imposing itself as a landmark brand for the most innovative vanguard and research music scene.
Together with a regular and tight schedule of live experiences, the brand put its signature on several side projects and concepts:
Festivals (KLANG: PANGEA, Radical Glitch, Sturm Und Klang 1 and 2, Sturm Und Klang: Sporen, Klang: Echos); Artistic residencies (Klang: Residenze Elettroniche, Klang Ensemble, Klang Studio Sessions); Workshop series (Klang Analog Fatness); Record releases (Klaustrophobie); NFTs (Hyperstition); Editorial blogs (Klangs Almanach); Experimental and independent movie festivals (Klang Cine Zone, Cyber Plague, Acid Rain, Pleasure Dome, Nuovo Cinema Mistico, Uncut).
