Several radar censors are installed above the ticket barriers in the metro station entrance. The censors register each person passing through and send corresponding amount of signals to a computer holding a huge register of bell sounds: cow bells, clocks, church bells. For each received signal the computer chooses a sound from the register and sends it further to the station's loudspeakers. Thus every passenger, entering or leaving the station, is transformed into a sound, a bell over the platform. During rush hours there is a non-stop sound composition mixed with the sound of the trains, during early or late hours - just a few bells.
The sound installation KLING KLANG PLAN was realized also at the Central Railway Station in Stuttgart, Germany 1993.
