In 1975, a research group of the World Soundscape Project led by R. Murray Schafer made a tour and investigations of the Soundscape of five European villages (Sweden, Germany, Italy, France and Scotland). The European tour also included lectures and workshops in several major cities (see: http://www.sfu.ca/~truax/wsp.html).
On their way from Germany to Italy, they also stayed in Austria for about a week. 
Recordings were made in Salzburg and Vienna between March 15 and March 23 1975.
This year I started to re-visit and re-record their recordings.
