Japanese term or phrase: 各楽器群のクラスター
The whole sentence is ニ音の保続は、各楽器群のクラスターが、上に向かって響いて行くと、直ぐ開始する。
If anyone wants to give the whole sentence a shot, that would be welcome, too. :)

agree  Shannon Morales: Yes, though I think you can omit "musical" as it's already clear from the context.

Explanation:
You can't really translate this sentence without the sentences around it, because we don't know if they're saying the sustaining of the two notes begins soon after the thing in the subordinate clause happens, or if the dropped subject is "it", referring to some other phenomenon that they're talking about being influenced by or dependent on sustaining the two notes (は is technically NOT a subject marker, but a topic marker, which can be pretty broad in terms of what the marked noun or phrase takes as its role in the sentence).

If they're talking about an orchestra, then "group" could be referring to the string section, woodwind section, etc. However, we can't know that without context.
