Unusual social media content inspired by sound art concepts was developed for the young and innovative hair care brand Michael Ahlmeyer.

The film Breathing Psoas designs a speculative-utopian body and a togetherness of man and nature. The breath and field recordings open fragmentary atmospheres of pain and transformation. The film was screened at numerous international festivals and conferences and received the award for best sound design at the film festival in Göttingen, Germany

Following the footsteps of Karen Duve's novel Fräulein Nettes kurzer Sommer (Miss Nette's Short Summer), we discover the horse country of Westphalia through literature. Together with many other artists, the author and singer Bettina Bruns will travel from Hülshoff Castle to Bökerhof and back again – bringing music, texts and conversations with them: a traveling festival, a traveling circus of a special kind! Rasmus Nordholt-Frieling directed the podcast episodes, supervised the mobile studio and did the sound design for the production.

Enid Blyton is one of the most widely read authors in the world and has produced around 700 books. To this day, her children's and young adult books continue to enjoy unbroken popularity. Her stories may still be exciting, but today's readers are struck by the schematic characters. Often the author draws them according to long-established prejudices and rigid norms. Children from low-income households are stupid and dirty, girls are weaker than boys, and the criminals are recognisable at first glance because they are not white. Yet even with this view, Blyton's world of easy classifications and easy-to-solve cases draws us in in a strange way. Burg Hülshoff - Center for Literature (CfL) invites six contemporary authors to present their favourite Blyton book in short texts and to reflect on what is so fascinating about this writing to this day - and what is off-putting. Visitors will not hear these texts just anywhere. In the tea house at Hülshoff Castle they are served alongside British cucumber sandwiches, scones and Earl Grey. In radio play form. With texts by Randy Boyagoda, Mithu Sanyal, Nicole Seifert, Stefanie de Velasco, Gabrielle Wang, Nadia Wassef. Video: Philipp Wachowitz. Production and sound design: Rasmus Nordholt-Frieling. speakers: Johanna Wieking und Lise Wolle.
