Oorspronklik

Composer's Notes. The last few years I have become increasingly involved in some peculiar mathematical formulas called "fractals". These formulas, used in the fast growing field of "Chaos theory", are relatively simple, but they generate fascinating and surprisingly "organic" patterns when shown graphically on a computer screen, or played as music. One should think that such a mathematical approach would lead to sterile and 'theoretical' music. The sound world of Stonewave , however, is not one you would associate with math books. The steady, insistent pulse, and the use of sequences put squarely up against each other or divided by long rests suggest an invisible ritual. A ritual for what. Well then, let it be a ritual for the exorcism of some 'evil spirits' which now ride our part of the world under the name of Liberalism, making people the servants of the Market Forces instead of vice versa. Stonewave is therefore an incantation, as it seems that only divine forces can save European culture from a political system that proclaims the Jungle Law as the guiding principle in social and cultural life. Rolf Wallin.

Komponis se Notes. Die laaste paar jaar het ek al hoe meer betrokke te raak by 'n paar eienaardige wiskundige formules genaamd "fraktale" geword. Hierdie formules, wat gebruik word in die vinnig groeiende gebied van "Chaos teorie", is relatief eenvoudig, maar hulle genereer fassinerende en verrassend "organiese" patrone wanneer getoon grafies op 'n rekenaar skerm, of gespeel as musiek. 'N Mens moet dink dat so 'n wiskundige benadering sal lei tot steriele en 'n teoretiese se musiek. Die klank wêreld van Stonewave, is egter nie een wat jy wil assosieer met wiskunde boeke. Die bestendige, aanhoudend pols, en die gebruik van rye sit vierkantig teen mekaar of verdeel deur 'n lang ruste dui op 'n onsigbare ritueel. 'N ritueel vir wat. Wel, laat dit 'n ritueel vir die uitdrywing van 'n paar bose geeste wat nou ry ons deel van die wêreld onder die naam van Liberalisme, wat mense die dienaars van die markkragte in plaas van andersom. Stonewave is dus 'n inkantasie, as dit blyk dat net goddelike magte Europese kultuur van 'n politieke stelsel wat die Jungle wet verkondig as die leidende beginsel in sosiale en kulturele lewe kan red. Rolf Wallin.
