XX-11-1989

A track on 'Rub Out The Word' a double compilation released on Jeph Jerman's Big Body Parts label. It all deals, in some ways at least, with whom I was in contact a lot back then. The title 'Process 4' probably refers to other pieces that employ the same process - no doubt some crude form of Steve Reich's 'Come Out', which I used a lot in those days. The whole tape can be downloaded here.

Another one of those early post 1993 USA shows. The poster you see here is more or less half of it, the other half announces another concert. But as you can see we shared that with Chop Shop and Small Cruel Party. I don't remember much about this evening to be honest. The first time we played Extrapool, that much I know. The recording turns out to be quite nice though. Players: Frans de Waard, Peter Duimelinks. Gig 20: Extrapool, Nijmegen

As said last month, we did various things for a Rotterdam based artist Ben Schot. The soundtrack to the Bunuel film, a concert as Death Pact (which falls outside this blog), a concert that will come in June and this one, which was a special one. Ben Schot got the Pendrecht Cultuurprijs and there was an official reception with serious talk, a short film, nice food, fine wine and Kapotte Muziek. Ben said something along the lines: "well, don't hold back, go all the way if you want", which of course we did, although it may not show on the recording. The nice thing here is that this is the only concert of Kapotte Muziek as a laptoptrio. The location was the city townhall of Rotterdam. Various, somewhat older people, came and asked us to stop but in the end more than half the audience left. Players: Frans de Waard, Peter Duimelinks, Roel Meelkop. Gig 88: Stadhuis, Rotterdam

XX-11-1987/1989

Well, actually this could also have been the 7th. It deals with the release of 'Real Time Music', the second Kapotte Muziek 7" and a cassette. According to discogs, information supplied by DMDN of Midas Music, the 7" was released on November 7th 1989 (picture below), but the cassette (picture above) is undated but from November 1987. The music was created by accident. One of my cassette players broke down, I opened the machine (don't why, since I am hardly technical), and it turns out it still produces sound. So in one go, I recorded four tracks which were released by Midas Music as a C15 cassette, and the first twenty copies were in a carton box with various pieces of the tapedeck, the edition was in total 50 copies. Two years Midas decided to release this a 7", leaving out the shortest track on side a. The edition was 320 copies. The b-side especially nice: a sort of very primitive early version of Goem. This digital transfer was done by DMDN.

The next drive, Trondheim to Stockholm, is about 600 kilometers and could be done in 6-7 hours. But due to the fact that it had snowed, the road outside Trondheim was covered with snow, all along to the the Swedish coast where we headed down to Stockholm. About eleven hour drive, but what a great scene to ride through. I don't recall much about this particular concert, if it was part of any festival, but I believe there was a small exhibition of Staalplaat designs somewhere. A piece of plastic found at Fylkingen is actually still part of the usual instruments of Roel and me. The last concert of this small tour. Players: Frans de Waard, Peter Duimelinks, Roel Meelkop. Gig 54: Fylkingen, Stockholm, Sweden

A beautiful drive the next day took us to Trondheim, home of Lasse Marhaug and Tore Boe. Klub Kanin wasn't a very big as far as I remember this, and there were more bands playing that night. We stayed with Lasse for a few hours before heading eastwards. The food was great here. The music being much more noisy than the night before. Players: Frans de Waard, Peter Duimelinks, Roel Meelkop. Gig 53: Klub Kanin, Trondheim, Norway

So far the posts about concerts have been for one-off occassions. Today we start with three posts in a row, which formed together a small tour we did. I think we were originally invited by Fylkingen to play in Stockholm and around it we got some extra gigs in Norway and Sweden. The first port of call was Club Mir in Oslo, which was a nice bar and venue. I think we were the only ones on the bill and afterwards we were asked if wanted to sleep in the club on stage where it would be warmer or somewhere else more comfortable but colder. We did the first. Peter wasn't feel and couldn't hardly speak, so a bit warm place was nice. The next day he felt better. Quite a soft recording with lots of silence. Players: Frans de Waard, Peter Duimelinks, Roel Meelkop. Gig 52: MIR, Oslo, Norway
