One of his inventions and responsibilities was the ‘sound of the month’ (“Geräusch des Monats”), a sound composition of five minutes, made of everyday sounds, music or voices with which the radio play department’s broadcasts fade out:

Another responsibility was the workshop for newcomers “Newcomer Werkstatt”, introducing gifted newcomers and their compositions to the audience; a broadcast four times per year, i.e. at the end of each sound art-quarter.
