Sleeve Notes:
?My art lies in a borderland between pictorial art and music ? where the images are missing?. Rolf Enström composes electroacoustic music, often combining it with voices, instruments or images. Some of his works are classics of contemporary Swedish music: Slutförbannelser and Tjidtjag och Tjidtjaggaise.
One of the works presented on this CD is "Music for an observatory" which was commissioned for Stockholms Observatorium?s 250th anniversary 2003. Rolf Enström?s describes a night-time experience in New Zealand in 1988: ?I got out of the car and turned my face upwards. When I saw the amazingly rich firmament I had what you may call a shock. The experience still lives inside me and it is only now, in retrospect, that I understand that it is that experience I managed to transform into sounds in a passage in "Observatoriemusik".
