Klangwabe is a term used in experimental music and sound art to describe a technique for shaping and presenting auditory texture through a comb-like arrangement of spectral components. The name, drawn from the German words for sound (Klang) and comb or honeycomb (Wabe), signals the characteristic pattern of energy across the audible spectrum: multiple narrow bands that are emphasized or attenuated in a regular, time-structured way.
In practice, Klangwabe is implemented by routing a sound signal through a bank of narrow bandpass filters
Usage and context: Klangwabe is employed in electronic, electroacoustic, and installation contexts to evoke mechanical, organic,
