from the swedish magazine "Groove" 7/2000:
Burning Rome "Soundtrack for 'Chaos Theory in Practice'" (Circumvent)
Circumvent is a new label from Austin, Texas. The label, according to
the owners, deal in music, and nothing but music. Experimental
electronic ditto, by the way. Is that why the records are released in
nothing but a clever little round container, made out of semi-hard
plastic? I've seen more attractive records.
Anyway. Burning Rome is american Mark Kolmar. His record consists
of one 45 minute piece, created for a video artwork by Sofia
Bogdanovich. It works excellently on its own as a suggestive sound
blanket. "Soundtrack for 'Chaos Theory in Practice'" is a loop-based
piece where different rhythmic loops flow into another, backed by a
low-frequent hum. New things constantly happen to keep the interest
up. Especially the middle part, which almost entirely consists of
very small pieces of sampled voices, impresses with its complex
simplicity. It's hard to belive, but it gets a groove going. Mark
Kolmar leaves you wanting more.
