Klangwelt
(German for “world of sound”) is the musical project of Gerald Arend, a German audio-designer who is working for the multimedia and computer games industry. His music is based on the tradition of European electronic music, combining influences of artists such as Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis and Yello with a unique blend of rich tone colours and sometimes unpredictable harmonic ideas. Further trademarks are his catchy, minimalistic melodies, grooving rhythms and playful sample gimmicks.
