Amerika (2008-2010) Compact Disc (with 4to)

Online, July 5, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Flux Records (Los Angeles), in conjunction with Bad Alchemy (Franconia), is delighted to present Amerika (FLX14), a CD with 4to pamphlet by German-American artist Frank Rothkamm (b.1965). This 4th and final chapter of Rothkamm's TETRALOGY opens on the 4th of July of 2010.

Amerika consists of a Compact Disc on which a Fuller Projection map is overlaid onto a printed-wood surface, which is housed in a shrink-wrapped vinyl record-style sleeve. The 4to pamphlet contains 4 pages of text - 3 of which are printed in 3 primary colors - and contains spirit communications by Klara and Karl May.

The 73 minute content of the CD is shaped by the moment-form concepts of mid-century modernists and presents reformations of 4 Songs from the American Songbook and an Overture. The music was especially composed for a 1954 WurliTzer Spinet piano.
