Rolf Julius (1939−2011): Musik – weit­er ent­fer­nt II (2009÷10)

Sound : Andreas Pysiewicz und Volk­er Straebel
Intro­duc­tion : Sabine Sanio

Music — weit­er ent­fer­nt II (2009÷10)


The sur­face of a sound inter­ests me. Is it round or angu­lar, raw or smooth, etc.? I am inter­est­ed in the dis­tance of a sound. Does it sound dif­fer­ent close than far­ther away. And I am inter­est­ed in the inter­val, the space between the sounds. How far can this space be extend­ed, I mean, is there silence or does silence need a sound before and after. I’m inter­est­ed in time, in time revolv­ing around an object and pres­ence, so to speak. In the con­cert I want to show the core of this endlessness.

 

The instru­ments I use are sim­ple and com­plex at the same time. Pre-com­posed pieces of music are played from sev­er­al iPods and mixed live, where I try to under­stand the space and the sit­u­a­tion of the audi­ence. (Rolf Julius)

Musik — weit­er ent­fer­nt II was cre­at­ed as a com­mis­sioned work by the Elec­tron­ic Stu­dio of the TU Berlin. The pre­mière took place in 2010 as part of Ultra­schall. Fes­ti­val für neue Musik at Radi­al­sys­tem V Berlin as a live per­for­mance. We play the autho­rized tape ver­sion. Rolf Julius is the name­sake of the Sound Stud­ies stu­dent scholarship.

Rolf Julius (1939−2011), born in Wil­helmshaven, stud­ied art in Bre­men and Berlin, where he lived since his par­tic­i­pa­tion in the exhi­bi­tion Für Augen und Ohren in 1980. His instal­la­tions, con­certs, videos, and visu­al works com­bine the acoustic and the visu­al in inter­modal recep­tion. Julius belongs to the found­ing gen­er­a­tion of Euro­pean sound art.
