With dramatized scenes, excerpts from his impressive musical oeuvre, and the voice of Harald Serafin, the voestalpine Klangwolke will bring Anton Bruckner to life in 2013.

Parov Stelar will musically update the great composer, and Ars Electronica Solutions is contributing a smartphone app to enable audience members to browse through Bruckner’s diary during the weeks leading up to the spectacle. Users can find out about the facts & circumstances of the composer’s life as he went about his creative work. The application cites the original diary entries conscientiously recorded by the great man, and places them in their proper historical context. The result is a detailed picture of Bruckner’s world and of the many highs and lows that characterized his life.

The World’s Largest Smartphone Orchestra

The second part of the app gets deployed during the Klangwolke itself. “Alle Menschen werden Bruckner” transforms spectators’ smartphones and tablets into musical instruments, and unites them into the world’s largest smartphone orchestra, which will play the opening notes of Bruckner’s 4th Symphony together with the Bruckner Orchester Linz. And all of it via live stream on the internet. Who knows—maybe Anton Bruckner will even be listening in?
