Rare Originals

Night Flights
Brand new, original copy of this mid 80s LP, recorded during a residency in Milan, Italy.

Lautlos (Book)
Hardcover, 126 pages. English/German. This publication is an encounter between the works of two artists from different generations, who never met personally although both spent time in Berlin. Rolf Julius, who was born in 1939 in Wilhelmshaven and died in 2011 in Berlin, worked in the tradition of a "music for eyes and ears." Nina Canell, born in 1979 in Växjö, Sweden, belongs to a younger generation of artists whose three-dimensional work has an emphatically non-monumental quality. With an acut…

Small Music (Book)
Rolf Julius has frequently been compared to John Cage for his attempts of integrating the world of common noises into the realm of sounds. "The surface of a sound interests me. Is it round or angled, grinding and raw, or smooth, etc." Julius thus creates extraordinary sound installations which can be described as "music for the eyes" and have secured him an unmistakeable place in the spectrum of contemporary art.
Walzer Für Ein Dreieck
Art-Record / Handmade Art Edition of 100 Copies in Box with 4 Prints & 2 Inserts. This is the first vinyl record by the legendary Rolf Julius (1939-2011) whose work is largely focused on “small music”, or sounds so subtle they’re barely discernible.

The sounds in Julius' works have spatial and physical qualities such…
