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.

Pump Suck
Pump Suck is a recording in which the artist plays electric and manual breast pumps through a mixing board with contact microphones attached to the motors. Using the dials on each pump to control and manipulate the speed and rhythm of the motors, Lisa Williamson upends the original purpose of breast pumps and instead uses these productive (pump) and depletive (suck) machines as tools for amplification and distortion. Breast pumps have a unique repetitious sound in which many women have described…
