"Raining" is the third installment in the small music series and the first posthumous Rolf Julius release. The title piece "Raining" originally appeared as part of the 2007 installation "Drawing (Dot)." When played at a high volume the piece engulfs the listener in a dense world of rain, wind rattled trees, and soaked pastures full of life. However, when played through the small flat speaker Julius chose for the installation, the sounds become soft and cyclical patterns, like a lush landscapeviewed from a plane miles above. The second piece "Weitflächig" is an example of what Julius called "Musik für eine weite Ebene" (Music for a Wide Plain) - using small sounds to create vast landscapes of sound. "Music for a Glimpse Inward" originally appeared in a 2005 installation. With small speakers placed along the edge of very large empty room, the music played softly, heightening the listener's perception of space and emptiness. Julius' pioneering work "Dike Line" (1979), was presented at the ground breaking collective exhibition "Für Augen Und Ohren" in 1980, together with works by John Cage, Nam June Paik, Joe Jones, Bill Fontana, Harry Bertoia, and David Tudor. Julius's works have since been shown in countless major exhibitions and important musuems around the world, such as New York's PS1 (1983), the 1985 Paris Biennial, documenta 8, Kassel (1987), the Hamburger Banhof, Berlin (1998), Pittsburgh's Mattress Factory (2001), the Centre Pompidou, Paris ( 2004), the two editions of Sonambiente, Berlin (in 1996 and 2006), Museum Bochum (2006), National Museum for Modern Art, Japan (2007), as well as in various galleries and non-profit spaces in Berlin, Paris, Tokyo, Bordeaux, San Francisco, Montpellier and Barcelona. In 2005, in Berlin, Julius was awarded the prestigious Hannah-Höch-Preis for an outstanding artistic life's work.
