Pin, a public park near the center of Geneva - literally an elevated square block of woods with paths, bordered by streets running twenty feet below its edges.
Neuhaus chose an isolated clearing at a high point of the park as the site. Of central interest to him is the site's inherent contradiction - visually one is in a clearing in the woods, aurally one is in the center of a city.
'A work of mine is the result of the interaction between sound and site, rather than being a sound in a site or a site with sound. It is more than site specific: the site is the physical element of the work, what I make the work out of by touching it with sound'.
Max Neuhaus
