English I German Click on image to enlarge Welcome to the site of .ds – davos soundscape , a topographical composition by Jan Schacher and Marcus Maeder for the Davos Festival 2007, Switzerland.
The experience and composition of .ds – davos soundscape emerges from the movement, peregrination and strolling of the listeners throughout the landscape of Davos and surroundings. Ten microcomputers equipped with GPS were available for rent at the Davos Tourist Office.
Together with the device the visitor received a map (see image on top) with the proposed routes and a diagram showing the locations of sound fragments. These sound-zones or so-called “sweet spots” were placed in the landscape with a surveyor’s stake painted in a fluorescent color to mark the area where a piece of music or sound is located and to simplify the acoustic “treasure hunt”.
