2006 — Scholarship

SJ (Swedish railway)

During the Mossenmark Festival -96 the Mossenmark Sound Fund was established. The purpose of the fund is to support and stimulate research and artistic work, whose ambition is to reach a grown vigilance around our mutual sound environment. The fund hands out a scholarship every year.


SJ is provided the 2006 Mossenmark Sound Fund award for their new “silent” train cars.

Motivation:
SJ has taken the initiative and created a good sound environment through creating a “Silent section” at the train, a part of the car where the passengers can rest or read in silence.
A place without cellphones and noisy conversations.
A silent oasis.


SJ is provided 100 SEK and a diploma.
