He collected pebbles in the Schiltach from the riverbed near the banks and placed them in glass bowls with water.

While he swirled the bowls in his hands, he called participants’ attention to the swooshing and tinkling sounds the pebbles made in the water. Heinsdorff also talked about other harmonious water sounds such as those made in chinese bronze vessels.

He said that essentially every river has its own unique sound.

An der Schiltach sammelte er Kieselsteine vom ufernahen Flussgrund und füllte sie in Glasschalen mit Wasser.

Während er die Schalen in seinen Händen kreisen ließ, machte er auf das Rauschen und Klingen der Steine im Wasser aufmerksam und erzählte von den harmonischen Wasserklängen, die etwa chinesische Bronzeschalen einzufangen vermögen.

Im Grunde, so sagte er, habe jeder Fluss einen ganz eigenen Klang.
