Swiss sound designer Daniel Dettwiler used Kyma in the creation of a permanent sound installation for BMW Platz, one of the largest rooms in the new BMW Museum in Munich, first opened to the public on June 21 2008. The walls of BMW Platz are giant screens displaying subtle pictures while a 300-speaker acousmonium plays granulated cello and piano sound textures generated in Kyma. For BMW, the aim was to create a museum where the architecture, media, and the audio all interact perfectly with the cars on display. Idee und Klang's proposal for the space was selected by a jury in an international competition held two years ago.
