Starting in 1979 the banks of the
Danube in Linz's Danube Park have become an apparently unlimitied
concert hall in September every year, when the Multimedia-Festival
called  "Ars Electronica" - sponsored by the Brucknerhaus in Linz and
the ORF (Austrian Broadcasting System) Linz. At this time, thousends
of visitors can participate via lodspeakers in a gigantic musical
experience.  Otto M. Zykan (1935 Vienna) was once a member of the
famous Viennese Boy's Choir, is a pianist and the composer
(Illustration) of the successful opera  ''Singers Naehmaschine ist
die beste '' (Singer's Sewing Machine is the Best) as well as a
co-worker on the artificial ''Humanic-Werbung'' (i.e., ad for Humanic,
an Austrian shoe company). In 1994, he wrote the concrete, film-like
music for Hans Hoffer's production of '' Odysseus '' defining this
open-air spectacle with his individual concept of up-to-date electronic
music (Example). His music supports the visualization of the drama with
precise sounds. (M. Saary)
