Kläng is my new favourite word. It means Sound or Sonority in German. Kandinsky used it to mean resonance, a sort of vibrating energy that he tried to fill his paintings with. It can also mean tone, tune or chord. It’s such a beautiful onomatopoeic word. KLÄNG! It makes me think of somebody dropping pans on the kitchen floor at my old workplace or a ‘man walks into a bar’ slapstick comedy situation. It seems like it should always be written in capital, it demands attention. It is noisy, it is sound. I’d like to imagine my work has a sense of KLÄNG about it, an impact on the viewer.
