In the summer, the inhabitants of Bern enjoy themselves by drifting along the Aare River before the eddies become too dangerous. Throughout the afternoon, they walk up the river shore and start again. The sound is inspired by the movement of a wheel that through its rotation transports the laughters of
the swimmers.
