LAX is a cinema vérité¹ of contrasting soundtracks: 10 scenes map the gradual collective re-wiring of reality to that of high-parallelism during the 2 years before the year 00 in the megacity of Los Angeles.

LAX examines the new cartography of underground music or Musik des Unterbaus² that emerges from the fallout of contemporary society's reaction to stress. It listens to Los Angeles' true ideology.

LAX is a not Mostly Mozart, but Mostly Marx; not only historical materialism but dialectic Duck Soup³ - providing mankind a soundtrack to the "economic structure of society, the real foundation [Unterbau], on which arises a legal and political superstructure [Ûberbau]"⁴

LAX was recorded in its entirety in Los Angeles with vintage equipment - including, but not limited to, a Hewlett-Packard first-generation model sine wave oscillator, and classic Atari and Macintosh home computers, both of which were custom programmed.

LAX is post-computer, post-electronic, post-ambient, post-field-recording, post-noise, post-industrial, post-sound-art, post-office. It shapes the parallel reality of the 21st century as a process of Synesthesia, where sound becomes in sight: the Freedonia of music.

Reviews:
[+]	High-end, top-of-the line intricacy and fabulous beauty - Brilliant
	Ingvar Loco Nordin SONOLOCO
[+]	Brilliant conceptual posthumous soundtrack
	Aurelio Cianciotta NEURAL
[+]	BEST OF 2007 - Sounding like it was the long lost soundtrack to Brazil the movie and as if it has been produced in a dusty particle accelerator filled with Gummi Bears.
	bart plantenga WRECK THIS MESS
[+]	Beyond the bleepy computer music - There's a very human element laced around the 0s and 1s
	S:M:J63 HEATHEN HARVEST
[+]	Analog sounds and computerized detritus - Tasty as juicy fruits
	Massimo Ricci TOUCHING EXTREMES
[+]	Rothkamm is a man of concepts, and a man to change his music
	Frans de Waard VITAL WEEKLY
[+]	Instead of building monuments to the negative balance sheets of the 20th century, he bets on the synaesthetic and synergistic effects of sound + text, presumption of senselessness and sophistication.
	Rigobert Dittmann BAD ALCHEMY
[+]	A real infectious release
	DaveX WDBX
[+]	If you dig [ Stockhausen's ] Hymnen, you'll dig LAX
	Steve Hicken SEQUENZA21
[+]	The musical language seems to be absolutely alienated, but the intensity of its constructions is exceptionally high.
