“Easter Sound-day” Spring Treasure Hunt
This Easter, a local sonic walk was created within a 2-km radius of participants’ homes, featuring three hidden sound "eggs" of spring to discover via GPS and headphones. Conceived during Ireland’s lockdown to offer a socially distanced, playful experience, the project was initially set up in six locations around the village and later reduced to two starting points.
Centre Vale Park Bird Song Walk
Centre Vale park supports 50 bird species year-round, with an interactive walking experience featuring blue circles that play recordings of 18 local bird songs and calls, and blue squares providing narrated identification tips. Photographs of these birds by local photographer Chris Foster are linked to the circles, and new images and sounds continue to be added to this ongoing project.
Vergehen (Passing) – opera that you walk
The audio walk VERGEHEN (Passing), set along the river Isar in Munich, explores the idea of future technology enabling direct recording and replaying of memories without translation into language or art. It prompts participants to consider the implications of this utopian promise, questioning whether preserving experiences perfectly is truly desirable.

With the free app “INSIDE MPHIL – St. Nikolai” you can experience the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra virtually on the meadow behind the church of St. Nikolai near the Munich Gasteig as if the musicians were set up there. With the GPS-connected smartphone and headphones you enter the orchestra acoustically and hear the instruments as if you were standing next to them, just as the musicians hear themselves and their colleagues: the violins, the oboe, the timpani or whatever you want to hear. This is made possible by the sophisticated smartphone app by sound designer Mathis Nitschke and violist Gunter Pretzel.
You can listen to a recording of the fourth movement of the Spring Symphony by Robert Schumann, recorded with the Munich Philharmonic in March 2019 under the baton of Pablo Heras-Casado.
