At K‘ – Zentrum Aktuelle Kunst Bremen, a large sound installation is set up for Hausmusik.
Using a 16-channel mixing console, visitors can arrange their own compositions from various recordings of the Eurovision anthem produced by Michaela Melián. 16 loudspeakers and 16 pedestals have been made available for the project by various art institutions in Bremen.

Hausmusik takes the following event as its starting point:
„A House Full of Music“, a radio-generated composition realised by John Cage with more than 800 children and young people in Bremen in 1982. 56 ensembles of amateur musicians in a wide variety of formations played simultaneously from their repertoire in 50 rooms of the Überseemuseum. Visitors to the spectacle could move between the music groups. „A House Full of Music“ was produced by Radio Bremen and broadcast to Eurovision, the Union of European Broadcasting Organisations and the USA. Several times the Eurovision anthem, Eurovision’s theme tune, appeared in the tangle of music tracks of „A House Full of Music“. For the live broadcast, Cage mixed the pieces according to a score created especially for the occasion. The listeners on the radio received Cage’s composition. The sound engineers reported numerous calls of complaint from radio listeners. They thought Cage’s composition was some kind of radio interference. Cage had been regularly invited to Bremen since 1959 by Hans Otte, the head of the music department at Radio Bremen and founder of the Musica Nova series.
