soundPLAY Statement der Juryvorsitzenden Christina Weiss



“Circulating over Square Waters” is a site specific piece composed and performed at Södra Teatern in Stockholm during the Art’s Birthday Party 2014. The piece deals the conceptuality around timelessness and the pure bodily sensation of frequencies and sound. It’s 2014 performance at ZKM Karlsruhe was awarded the prestigious Karl Sczuka Prize for Radio Art by the SWR. The Prize is named after the in-house composer of the SWF in the early years of the broadcaster and was awarded for the first time in 1955.

In its 2014 judgement, the jury wrote: “The Swedish artist Carl Michael von Hausswolff uses minimalist methods to enter into a musical dialogue with the materiality of spaces and their sound characteristics. His set of instruments consists of twelve sine wave generators and two loudspeakers. They are used to trigger the natural vibrations of the space which are then made audible in a continuous crescendo. In “Circulating over Square Waters (ZKM Kubus)”, Carl Michael von Hausswolff uses the existing space like an instrument with unswerving rigour and raises the intensity of the sounds with great sensitivity and artistic assurance. In this radiophonic production, imaginary sound spaces are thus created from the sound waves along the time axis into which listeners can immerse themselves in a similar way to observing a monochrome picture.”
