Sunrise in Switzerland - Interlaken 4K Walk - Swiss Town

Spring · Clear · 29 min · March 2024

Sunrise in Interlaken, the Swiss town set between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. This is not New England, and the light is the point — first sun arriving over a town that keeps a lake on either side. The river running through town is an emerald color that would look like a filter if it were one; it is simply what the water does here. The walk crosses town at that hour, recorded in binaural 3D on location, so what sound there is stays small and precise, in its actual positions around you. It is a walk abroad made the same way as the ones at home — a place with a name, at an hour nobody photographs, treated with the same patience. If you have been to Interlaken, this will land somewhere specific. If not, sunrise is a fair introduction.

Best with headphones — the audio is true binaural. Watch on YouTube (recommended on TV).
