[Ghost of New York] Art Work

As the first installment of the 3CD+1DVD ”TETRALOGY” the Ghost of New York is a work of brilliant sonic alchemy that in a surreal sense gives a voice to the billions of souls who've passed through or lived in New York City.

One is struck by ROTHKAMM's use of spacial sound placement as well as his attention to compositional detail when listening to this electronic music of 33 minutes and 33 seconds. In a way, it's similar to watching a master Zen painter at work.

Interestingly, when viewing ROTHKAMM's pieces through a spectral analyzer one can see the shapes as well constructed musical koans with perfect brush strokes. Plus, Ghost of New York is filled with phrases that seamlessly morph through a palette filled with the sonic hues and subtle gradations of pure electronic waveforms. Then, like a playful poltergeist, ROTHKAMM drops in a small sonic surprise that subtly takes the music in a different direction before reintroducing familiar thematic electronic timbres.

Ghost of New York is a work worthy of the word "Masterpiece".

“Ghost of New York” was released on 10/10 and is Frank Rothkamm’s first installment of a 3CD plus 1DVD Tetralogy.

The next installments, “Zahra Fugues”, “Birth of Primary Cinema from the Spirit of Sound” and “Amerika” are released on 11/11, 12/12  and  01/01 respectively and what with “Ghost of New York” being 33 minutes and 33 seconds and being limited to 333 copies gives indication of an obsessive attention to detail.

Most probably composed with the sequences of numeric patterns as a score “Ghost” reveals a futuristic gamut of surreal synthetics.

Through parts “I. Ectoplasm Rejects” to “V. Lullaby” it bubbles with sci-fi blurbs, modulations and spluttered robotics and is often interrupted by caustic waves of space junk. “II. Self Levitation Science” sounds like a cathode-ray oscilloscope asking a wavering Theremin to dance.

Ghosts would imply presence of something passed yet the “Ghost of New York” is only just born.

Frank Rothkamm’s “The Ghost of New York” is a very comfortable album, yet with a surprise around every corner. The sounds are often familiar analog synth sounds, but the arrangements are new. They flutter and hover, doing their sci-fi tricks, but the layers are intense and intricate. There is plenty of room for blank space, and Rothkamm is not afraid to stop the music in the middle of the track in order to pause for some silence before jumping off to the next set of layers. Every so often, the music must crash and start anew.

The song titles encourage a sci-fi bent to the album – “Ectoplasm Rejects,” “Self-Levitation Science,” and “The Betrothed of Wyoming” are just three of them. Each song is equally unpredictable, moving from harsh layers, to bell like chimes, to the aforementioned silence. Other practitioners of analog synths, like Ernst Karel, come to mind, but Rothkamm is definitely carving out his own territory. He avoids low drones, hopping instead from sound to sound. “Overcome by Art,” is an interesting example, in which the blips soar and then drop and the rotate all over again, sounding like a prayer. Overall this is a journey of an album, none too delicate, despite its pauses.

TOUCHING EXTREMES ITALY
 
“The music of ghosts is located here, in the movement from one pitch to the next, in the ambivalence of notes when one note has been left and the next one is not quite yet reached”. Frank Rothkamm - a Los Angeles resident who still remembers the nocturnal shadows of his Manhattan apartment - is a man of clear ideas, even when the images he tries to conjure up through his studio productions are not exactly explicable. There lies the fascination evoked by Ghost Of New York, first instalment of the 3-CD + DVD “Tetralogy”. If this is the inauguration, we’re in for a delightfully misplacing trip.

A limited edition of 333 copies, the duration set at 33'33''(numbers that recall the theoretically universal numerical perfection with which low-cost spiritual leaders usually lecture the aurally impeded, dressing all that wittering with recurrent grammar errors in escalating mnemonic earthquakes) the album consists of five tracks of erratically nonrepresentational music containing the most evident exemplifications of a street man’s failure to realize that Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Si is not the centre of the cosmos. Contrarily to the artist’s habit the sources are not made known to the mortal consumer, though I’m surmising that analogue synthesis and a computerized system might be held responsible for this hymn to the insufficient definition of a liquefied polymorphism.

The waves reach for our attention, constantly enticing, teasing us through intangible shapes, irreparable damages already done to that mechanism of reduction to basic constituents which the mind is prone to utilize when unable to recognize what’s happening. Complex draperies replete with bubbling fluids and swirling radiations are alternated with moments of uneasy stagnancy or dawdling levitation (I swear that this term was chosen before realizing that a track is called "Self Levitation Science"). Adjacent ephemeral circumstances fuse in a huge blotch as we drowsily connect the dots of a depressingly plumbeous day and the rerun of a vintage Azumah Nelson fight (whose picture’s colours are also extremely blurred). Does this lethargy mean we’re being hit in the head by these momentous synthetic protuberances? Have African boxers ever pondered about the inadequacy of a common illusionary stereophonic projection? Is the beginning of "The Bethroted Of Wyoming" a mutilated robotic quote of the incipit to Igor Stravinski’s Sacre Du Printemps? Why does this writer always ask questions in Rothkamm-related reviews? Unsolved mysteries, at least for now.

Although never antagonistic to the ears, this is not a choice soundtrack for dinner at home with your potential new fiancée, unless she’s a Conehead. This chef exclusively cooks food for thought (well, this is not really true – check this blog), accomplishing the goal via singular accentuations of the aspects of life (translated: "of sound") that are vaguely readable between the lines, which – as he himself seems to admit in the inner leaflet’s observations – remains a major artistic interest. This is the only type of truth-seeker accepted in my house.

In Frank's latest work, echoes of early synthesised electronic music take a decidedly spooky turn - which the packaging (sepia photographs) and the Ð as usual excellent - accompanying text reinforce.

This is highly atmospheric: between stations, between frequencies, between worlds, and rewards and supports immersive as well as casual listening. There is more here than meets the ear. 1

Narrow, but excellent.

Whenever a new Frank Rothkamm CD comes in, it’s party time – the man mixes in serious electronic research, absurdism, and dadaism with unequaled gusto.

Ghost of New York is introduced as the first installment in a tetralogy, and the titles and oblique liner notes set it up over a spiritism backdrop. This album of 33 minutes 33 seconds, five tracks, is made strictly of synthesizer music. In terms of tone palette, it takes us back to Rothkamm’s FB trilogy. However, everything’s unstable and evanescent: sounds slip in-between tones in nauseating sinewave patterns, they fly all around like St. Elmo’s fires, and they suddenly disappear, cut short, like poltergeists up to nothing good.

Marvelously destabilizing!

C’est fête au logis à l’arrivée d’un nouveau disque de Frank Rothkamm - l’homme allie recherche électronique sérieuse, absurdité, et dadaïsme avec un aplomb insurpassé.

Ghost of New York est annoncé comme la première partie d’une tétralogie et placé sous le sceau du spiritisme. Ce disque de 33 minutes 33 secondes, cinq pièces en tout, consiste strictement en musique de synthétiseurs, ce qui, au niveau de la palette sonore, nous ramène près de sa trilogie FB. Mais tout est instable et évanescent: les sons glissent entre les tons en sinusoïdales nauséuses, ils volent en tous sens comme des feux follets, et ils disparaissent soudainement, coupés courts, comme des poltergeists sur un mauvais coup.

Merveilleusement déstabilisant!

VITAL WEEKLY NETHERLANDS
 
Hot on the heels of last week's 'Alt' release, Frank Rothkamm now presents the first installment of the 3CD + 1DVD 'Tetralogy'.

In this first work the city of New York plays a central role, or actually the many people who lived, translated to music. No ambient music here like last week, but works from the analogue synthesizer, that depict quite well the hectic of the city, the crawling of so many people on such as small space. Sounds bouncing in all directions, but also very occasionally take back control and we see the contours of mighty sky scrapers, but also of much smaller buildings. Like always Rothkamm knows how to surprise me with his music.

This particular release wasn't the best I heard from him I must admit, it sounded a bit too easy, too much like 'Music From Forbidden Planet' type of synthesizer play, but it has some nice moments. But in his catalogue of music, this is surely another odd-ball. Odd-ball admitst other oddities.

This release lasts exactly 33 minutes and 33 seconds, in an edition of 333 copies, and released on 10/10/09 - the next one on 11/11/09 etc. - Numbers are great. (FdW)
 
Frans de Waard VITAL WEEKLY

DARKROOM ITALY
 
Come già saprà quella ristretta cerchia che ha avuto modo di confrontarsi con i lavori di Frank Rothkamm, questo autore statunitense ha sempre avuto il precipuo scopo di sperimentare collegando i suoni ai concetti, creando così una musica sempre finalizzata a comunicare pensieri. Non fa eccezione "Ghost Of New York", il primo tassello di una tetralogia che sarà composta da 3 CD e 1 DVD per 'dare voce' alle tante anime che hanno vissuto a New York. Un lavoro ambizioso e fantasmatico che trova il suo perno in un'elettronica astratta fatta di curiosi arzigogoli analogici, stratificazioni minimali retrò simili ai rumori di un vecchio videogioco impazzito e un noise ambient dalle forti connotazioni vintage. Alla fine si fa fatica a trovare il nesso che lega i brani al tema portante, per contro rimane impressa una certa freddezza di fondo, causata forse da un forte compiacimento nel proporre suoni strambi legati tra loro in modo assurdo, attraverso tracce tutte uguali. La tiratura (333 copie), la durata e i titoli rimandano ad un'ambientazione ectoplasmatica, ma non orrorifica: purtroppo però i sintetizzatori non riescono a percorrere la medesima via arenandosi in un discorso troppo autoreferenziale, privo di qualsivoglia atmosfera e, in definitiva, più curioso che sperimentale, nonché poco comunicativo. Nella sua lunga ed oscura carriera Rothkamm è riuscito sicuramente a comporre album di maggiore effetto rispetto a questo "Ghost Of New York", che purtroppo lascia con l'amaro in bocca.

Frank Rothkamm’s ‘Ghost of New York’ is the first installment of his 3 CD+1 DVD “Tetralogy”. Elsewhere, ‘Ghost of New York’ has been hailed as “a brilliant work of sonic alchemy,” and “a masterpiece”. I’m afraid I can’t jump on that bandwagon. Maybe it’s because I have been listening to experimental electronic music since the late 1960’s, or because my first synthesizer was an ARP 2600 back in the 1970’s. So the awe and wonder of the analog waveforms has worn a bit thin over the years, especially in light of so many technological advances in electronic equipment.

Treading the well-trodden terrain of early electronic music experimenters such as Varese, Stockhausen, Subotnick, Beaver & Krause, La Monte Young, The Barrons (“Forbidden Planet”) and so many others, the sonic collages on ‘Ghost of New York’ are a bit clichéd. These synth oscillator modulations and white noise burblings have been done so often before they don’t offer much new. I have listened to this CD a half-dozen times (it is only 33 ½ minutes) just to make sure I wasn’t missing anything. I don’t believe I was. It all sounded a bit too sterile. It might work with a visual display or art installation but it left me rather cold as an audial experience. The reason for this is explained in the CD liner notes, and while rational (yet somewhat esoteric), it did not improve my listening experience. On the positive side, the graphics on the CD are intriguing.

I didn’t get any impressions of ghosts, spirits, apparitions, or poltergeists either. Then again, I don’t believe in spooks, so you can take my skepticism for what it’s worth. On his website, there is a detailed explanation of Rothkamm’s “aesthetic of supermodernism,” the psycho-cybernetic philosophy he employs as a basis for his musical vision having to do with the randomness of man and machine. Although some valid points were raised, I found it a bit pretentious. I cannot see the means justifying the end result here.

Too bad about this CD too; I had high hopes when I saw the promo picture postcard showing Frank in a chair from the back hard at work laboring with his equipment eerie lit by a pair of halogen lamps done in sepia tone similar to the CD cover. I thought, “hmm, interesting. Maybe this has possibilities.” Guess I was wrong, at least for me.

This is a limited release of 333 copies. Not easy to find unless you go to his website. Maybe I might like next installment better. I know he has dozens of releases going all the way back to the early 90’s. I have never heard any of them so there is no basis of comparison. He’s worked with the Hardkiss Bros, Peter Scherer, Elliott Sharp, DJ Spooky and a slew of other people. Perhaps if you’re craving an experimental, purely electronic work just for the sake of hearing something new, you might want to check this out. But if you’re not familiar with the classics, you should really check them out first.
