Film by Fabienne Steiner showing the building of the rammed earth Kiln Tower in Cham, Canton Zug.

For the raw material used for the music, Brigitte and I visited the rammed earth factory in Brunnen, Canton Schwyz and recorded sounds made during the production of the rammed earth blocks.

Later I added a whale whoop at the moment when the roof is put on the tower and for the credits at the end a recording of a mole cricket made here in Eglisau.

For this web page I have made a shortened version of the sound track — see below.
