Experience the famous orchestral suite “The Planets” by Gustav Holst, played by the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, as an interactive audio walk in a park near you, increasingly all over the world. All you need is a smartphone and headphones. In seven parts the seven planets Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are characterized musically. In our app you can find these planets distributed in the park and visit them. Immerse yourself in an intense musical experience of The Planets. You can freely move around and explore the immersive sound field of the orchestra. Get on a shuttle that will take you through space. You navigate it with your feet, walking. Play an auditory treasure hunt that takes you from planet to planet via binaural 3D audio. Listen to the direction from which you hear speech and music and find your destination. Float on the music, through space, in the park near you. The app is bilingual German/English. English is activated as soon as the phone system language is not set to German.

About Sofilab
Sofilab UG was founded in 2017 by composer and theater maker Mathis Nitschke to address the question: “What are the new forms of listening enjoyment in the immersive and interactive environment we live in today?” Sofilab contributes to answering this question by developing innovative artistic projects that combine traditional forms of sonic expression with fresh approaches to audience participation and the use of emerging sound technologies, always based on a deep understanding of the history and nature of music and sound.
