Iter Magneticum
Iter Magneticum is a selection of possible soundwalks which Christina Kubisch has made for this tape. The music was created both electronically and acoustically, using recordings of natural sounds as well as computer technology. Her basic idea is to create sound landscapes, where the concepts of electronic nature and natural electronics are no more opposite, but form a synthesis.
On Air
Original tape, documenting an installation taking up the medieval town of Gargonza in Tuscany, On Air was a part of Christina Kubisch's series of sound art pieces concerned with electromagnetic induction, as conducted through specially modified headphones worn by the listener. Participants would then walk around Kubisch's environment picking up on the various signals hanging in the air

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.
