The exterior of the work consists of a high, grey pedestal with a glass case on top of it. In the case lies a cuboid, made of felt, out of the central axis (towards the edge) and in a slightly slant position relative to the front edge.
Stepping close to, or listening directly to the glass, you may hear soft howling wind. Speakers are covered by the felt cuboid. This felt cover as well as the glass bell, muffle the volume of the howling. The title „Kammerköhr“ is associated with the name of the station at the top end of the Steinplatte-cable railway in Waidring/Tyrol.
