Klanghaus
Producer Ferdinand Försch has according to Best Service developed over a hundred musical instruments (metal drums, string instruments and combinations, sound images, drum and sound walls and sound machines), building them from a range of materials.
A central inspiration in his research and work is the relationship between the acoustic and the visual, between sound and form, hearing and seeing. In 1997 he founded the ‘KLANGHAUS‘ in Hamburg, Germany, as an experimental forum for concerts, exhibitions and interdisciplinary performances.
