A bespoke edition of Daily tous les jours' 'Musical Swings' is suspended from the iconic jetty-like balcony of the Buchheim Museum in Bernried, Germany, amidst groves of old trees, ponds and the notorious Starnberg lake, introducing a novel perspective to appreciate the encompassing natural and architectural landscapes.

The swings have large circular seats, each accommodating two adults or more smaller creatures. Players are free to sit or recline. With the pivot structures’ bearing mechanism and the very long cables enabling a smooth, friction-free motion, the relaxation aspect of the experience is maximized. As visitors sway together, the rhythmic movements of their bodies through the air translate into collaborative musical compositions.

This edition follows the same principles as the other Musical Swings in the series, aiming to enhance synchronous movements and encourage collaboration:

Each swing triggers notes from classical instruments: piano, harp and vibraphone. The interactive soundtrack is inspired by the pendulum, the higher the swing, the higher the note. When the swings move together in synchronicity, they create a musical composition through which unique melodies emerge. The gentle, kinetic quality of the acoustic sounds blends seamlessly into the environment.
