“Since my childhood I have been interested in Listening under water. That’s exactly what we do Every summer in Bern, when we dive into the river Aare. A universe of sounds opens up. With the new work “Aare”, Christian Kobi presents a sound journey into the river Aare, which is mixed and composed with sine waves.

The mixture is really fascinating, both levels, water sounds and sine waves have something big, long-term, but also something microscopic through the beatings or the many smallest events in the water - in the superimposition you have the possibility to take very different auditory perspectives, resp. If you simply let your ears drift, you sometimes notice only after a few minutes that your own perspective has shifted and something else has come to the fore, but here, with you, a completely different level comes into play with the field recording, which creates new kinds of interference." - Michel Roth, September 2023
