Rolf Julius - Music for a Distance

Music for a Distance is the second release in the small music series. The title of the work in relation to the cover images (abstract photographs of Julius' wife resembling landscapes merging into a distant horizon) suggests a work of uncommon poetic perception and inspiration. The title track "Music for a Distance" began as a 2003 live performance of "Musik fur eine weite Ebene" (Music for a Wide Plain) at the Donaueschinger Musiktage in Germany. Though different in proportion and point of view, it nevertheless captures the stillness of the horizon that would inspire "Music for a Distance".
