The final night of this small tour was the best night, in the jazz club Alluvium in Oldenburg. Attenttive audience, a very quiet set by us plus we played an almost twenty piece with Raumerkundigung. Both are included in this download, the collaborative piece was taken from a cassette recording. Players were: Peter Duimelinks, Roel Meelkop and Frans de Waard. Gig 46 16-03-1997 Alluvium, Oldenburg, Germany

The next day we drove back into Germany, to Hannover to play at the famous Silke Arp Bricht club. I don't recall why it was famous, other than that it existed since a long time. Somebody talked the entire way very loudly through our music, but then was all ears when Raumerkundigung played. Odd, to say the least. Players were: Peter Duimelinks, Roel Meelkop and Frans de Waard. Gig 45 15-03-1997 Silke Arp Bricht, Hannover, Germany

On this day we embarked on a small tour into the North of Germany together with Raumerkundigung (being Robert Steinberger of Disaster Area mailorder and Lutz Pruditsch of Der Pilz and later of Tarkatak). The first port of call, literally, was the famous Stubnitz boat in Rostock. My first visit to their floating space. For whatever reason the concert was not in the boat itself but in the port harbour building. Red pluche couches making this an unlikely space. The people who showed stayed mainly at the bar and at one point started to imitate our music with their mouth. It was all a bit silly. Not our finest half hour. Raumerkundigung were more music, a bit noise and drone, and quite good. Players were: Peter Duimelinks, Roel Meelkop and Frans de Waard. Gig 44 14-03-1997 MS Stubnitz, Rostock, Germany

12-03-1996

Some kind of event organised by the art academy of Antwerpen, Belgium, where were announced as 'industrial experimental cultproject' (see flyer above), together with Stratosphere, of whom I remember nothing. The building had some nice squeaky doors which we taped in the afternoon and that sound started the concert. Not that you will hear it now, since this will be part of the 10 cassette box by Blossoming Noise. Players: Frans de Waard, Peter Duimelinks, Roel Meelkop. Gig 30 12-03-1996 HPA, Antwerpen, Belgium
But let me use this opportunity to give some insight in that forthcoming 10 cassette box, so now what its like and what won't be posted here. Tape one will have two tapes from 1986: 'Weapons Of Musick' and 'Aircraft'. The second one has two tapes from 1992: 'Vier Stukken' and 'Murmer'. Tape three has vinyl works from 1989-1996, being 'Intonation', a split with Asod Dvi (previous unreleased), 'Real Time Music', side B of the never released 7" with Agencement, the KM side of the split with Grunt and 'Sind'. Tape four has the collaboration with The Grey Wolves on one side and Vidna Obmana on the other side, both previously released Death Pact Tapes.

Sometimes people ask me why I dislike Amsterdam. Here is one of my favorite stories: before this gig we were invited to eat in the restaurant of this Smart Space and after dinner I wanted to smoke a small cigar. A waiter come to me, and said it wasn't allowed. I pointed to the table next to us where people were smoking cigarettes, and the waiter said it was something different. The concert itself was in a small theatre like space. Remko Scha was in the audience, but I didn't recognize him (despite doing an interview with him in the early 90s). Martijn Tellinga, then working as Boca Raton, reworked this concert and was released on the split CD with Richard Chartier. Still available
Players: Frans de Waard, Peter Duimelinks, Roel Meelkop. Gig 84 11-03-2003 Smart Space, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

06-03-1986

I know it sounds like a masterplan but it isn't. Yesterday a solo cassette from me, and a day later, in the same year, one from Christian. Perhaps the only one he recorded as Kapotte Muziek. Quirky rhythms. I actually always loved this release. It was released by Disabuse Transmissions, Christian's short lived label, all of the releases can be downloaded here. It also includes a compilation with a Kapotte Muziek track. A slightly different version of the first two tracks can be found here. Visual for that above.

05-03-1986

A pretty much early solo cassette, perhaps influenced by Boyd Rice, working with loops of records, the lock grooves you'll find at the end of some. I forgot which ones I used. Perhaps you could see this as a early interest that later developed into the Goem concept?
