"Music For a Garden is a permanent outdoor audio installation at the Mattress Factory, a museum of contemporary art in Pittsburgh, PA. It was created to be heard within the garden designed by artist Winifred Lutz." "Influenced by the conceptual art ideas of the 1960s and early 70s, Julius discovered the importance of tone atmospheres for the perception of visual structures. He experimented briefly with existing contemporary music, but soon followed Cage's example, weaving tones and sounds to ever more complex tape-recorder compositions, whereby his interest was, above all, to research the conditions and possibilities of spatial experience...whether in his small objects or in his expansive installations in buildings or public spaces, Rolf Julius' works are always catalyzers for increasing attention to the things surrounding us. This has secured Julius an unmistakable place in the spectrum of contemporary art." Bernd Schulz.

“Rolf Julius is a Berlin based sound composer/sculptor, born in 1939. He has produced a series of installation sound-exhibits, which have been documented on 4 self-produced CDs (we now have all 4 available, distributed by Edition RZ). He refers to his music as "small music" utilizing collage, abstract environmental sound acoustics, and a flair for beautiful, subtle, shifting layers of sound. Klangbogen (Small Music Vol. 2) features a crinkled array of pulsing, chirping environmentally-tinged sound - gravitating somewhere near the vortex where the Het Apollohuis artists, Selektion crew and Bill Fontana never quite meet. "Rolf Julius is a German artist who is interested in making connections and creating interactions between disparate elements that seem to have little relationship to each other. He works with sounds to 'create pictorial space and with pictures to create musical space.' He tape-records everyday natural and man-made sounds and mixes them to produce a sound piece. Julius' drawings and sound pieces, while in totally different media, seem to arouse the same aesthetic response. Using simple shapes and everyday sounds, his works in both media are quietly powerful. Describing Julius' work, a critic said it had a Zen-like sensibility in his appreciation of simple natural sounds and the elegance of simplicity. This Zen-like feeling is also evident in his ink drawings, which bring to mind the deceptively uncomplicated yet forceful ink paintings practiced by Zen monks. Julius' drawings are ostensibly of the electronic apparatus and objects that he uses in his sound installations. However, they transcend the category of preparatory drawings."
