Recordist's notes

The New Oker Bridge for the Ringgleis (circular foot/cycle path on former railtracks around the city) has railings of progressively different lengths. Running along them with a stick or your hand produces these harp-like glissandos. The floor is made of wood that roars when bicycles and, particularly, e-scooters pass by.
