* what the jury said about the composition "Gasometer":
"Frank Niehusmann shows austere beauty: In his piece he depicts the vastness of the industrial space of the "Gasometer" and confronts it with sounds of industrial production and mining. Using these unprocessed and thus "un-alienated" he creates an intensive listening experience which affects directly."
