Rolf Wallin
Biography
Rolf Wallin (Oslo, 1957) is one of the foremost contemporary Nordic composers, widely performed and commissioned internationally. His musical background spans from jazz, avantgarde rock and early music to traditional classical training, and this versatility is reflected in an exceptionally many-faceted list of compositions. Wallin's compositional output covers a wide range of techniques and expressions: from strictly absolute music to music theatre and installations, from elaborate computer-aided composition in his instrumental music to strongly intuitive music for the stage.

Rolf Wallin: Boyl
30.09.1999
While Ground brings us a Mahler-like "Nachruf", Boyl brings us a kind of object-oriented version of the same thing - the composition is stricter and the disposition more orderly. Perhaps an ode to how existence, which sometimes bears brutally down upon us, also can offer moments of great
beauty with its unlimited capacity for renewal through what may seem to be coincidence. -
