Ambient Enigmatica...He cultivates enigmas. He leaves no one cold. He could be the next genius the right-thinking avant-garde will be late to discover. He is Rothkamm, but his friends call him Frank Rothkamm. This composer, philosopher, and conceptual artist can turn music (electronic and otherwise) into thought territory, an abstract playground, or even a smoke screen. In fact, Rothkamm is a magician, a prestidigitation theoretician, and a carny all in one. The oeuvre he is building one CD at a time seems to be designed to sidetrack listeners (and better push them onward), deconstruct accepted ideas (and better reinvent them), and elevate contradiction to the rank of art form (so as to better critique it).

Un album hors du temps qui traversera certainement les âges pour s'inscrire dans le paysage électronique classique, tout en restant exceptionnel et innovant.
MUSICAREACTION, March 2010
A particularly refined record, where less is definitely more, ALT is definitely not to be missed.
THE MILK FACTORY, March 2010
L'auditeur se voit ainsi transporté dans un espace acoustique subtilement spatialisé, l'amenant à découvrir des champs de perception inédits.
SOLENOIDE, February 2010
Post-apocalyptic ambient music for a modern-day on the beach.
ROCK-A-ROLLA, February 2010
Une oeuvre ciselée, sortant des frontières du réel pour emprunter des chemins aussi accidentés que chatoyants. Passionant.
LIABILITY, February 2010
A beautiful album, claiming to love many listeners.
STEREO & VIDEO, February 2010
This is the true essence of ambient music.
EXCLAIM, January 2010
Excellent new compilation from German sound art legend Rothkamm.
EARLABS, January 2010
Une vision d'aurore sublime.
FEAR DROP, January 2010
Quite surprising, all over the place, and very good.
RARE FREQUENCY, December 2009
Spare, beautiful and spacious music.
LOOP, December 2009
Rothkamm has achieved the ideal: Enabling the listeners to understand and enjoy at the same time.
TOKAFI, December 2009
A strange contrast in a body of work already full of contrasts. Highly recommended.
FRANÇOIS COUTURE, November 2009
Une manière puissante de rompre avec le silence ou le vacarme ambiant.
