"European Soundscapes"

It is only in post-production that a five-channel composition can be reworked into a meaningful stereo mix with the proper volume and panorama relationships.

In this instance, the works are experimental pieces that shed light on the selection process and the basic treatment of the material, and thus resemble excerpts from a symphony score.

Most of the musical work is a matter of positioning and adjusting the volume of the individual elements in relation to each other and to the surrounding space in Salzburg; hence, this cannot be depicted on a stereo CD recording of the various takes.

Each listener (i.e. passerby) mixes his/her own version of the soundscape by moving about amongst the speakers dispersed throughout the park.
