\"When we are in the MQ courtyard, our ears experience the acoustics of one of the world\'s most beautiful public sound spaces. A couple of sounds coming from above are enough to make us want to follow the flight path of the echo. The KLANGHIMMEL MQ project invites you to do just that. For the 2011 summer season, a fine net of transparent sound objects will be stretched over the MQ Haupthof. As the wind moves, and in response to the everyday choreography of the people on the plaza, individual sounds, barely audible whispers, sound clips, or entire sound compositions emerge.\" (Andres Bosshard)
