XX-12-1991

This might very well the first compilation CD with a Kapotte Muziek track on it. Motop was released by IF Records, from the man behind ORDUC, Nico Selen (who just released a great new LP actually). I organised both Motop 1 (LP) and Motop 2 (CD). The idea was simple: you pay a certain amount of money for which you could send a certain amount of time on the LP/CD. Here I delivered a track of the then ongoing works I did with Merzbow (which I actually hope to release on a CD set one day). Noteworthy, but not necessarily Kapotte Muziek related, is that the S.Core track is not by him, by accident is a loop used by Beequeen. The piece by Wasp King is clearly a remix of Beequeen's cassette 'Mappa Mundi', although have never figured out who Wasp King is. The CD can be found here

XX-12-1988

Another compilation. Like with the Claustrophobia compilation I have no idea anymore what kind of process was used here or why I called these like that. I found it here

29-12-1999

The day after Hamburg we drove from Hamburg to Munster, to play in a likewise nice play (but different) Cuba. Here we played with Frank Bretschneider and some flutist. I tried to get a recording of this for Frank to do a 'Kapotte Muziek by...' release, but its not to be found. I asked the organiser Till Kniola the name of the flutist but he couldn't remember. I do remember that we played with him (her? even?) a short improvisation. Players: Frans de Waard, Peter Duimelinks, Roel Meelkop. Gig 61 Cuba, Munster, Germany

XX-12-1990

Also a December release is 'Utitlies', the second full length LP by Kapotte Muziek. It was released by Petri Supplies, the label of Abo, the man of Yeast Culture. An excellent packaging he created. It was pressed on orange vinyl. For this album, the first after the period of music I did with Christian Nijs and I decided to do a LP with just collaborations, with musical material supplied by: Emil Beaulieau, Yeast Culture, Recycled Body Programm, Not To, Odal, blackhumour, SBOTHI, Asmus Tietchens, Merzbow, Honeymoon Productions, De Fabriek. I am still quite proud of this record, but that's why I'm not sharing it: I intend to release a double CD of both the first two albums and early vinyl pieces.

I realized I should have posted this a few days ago, but while transferring old Kapotte Muziek works to my computer I found three tracks from 1989, which I had sent to RRRecords for some Christmas compilation, but which were never released. So I released my own little christmas album this year, with these three tracks, plus a Beequeen piece from 1997 and a Freiband piece from 2001. You can buy one here. The cheesy title has been suggested by Freek Kinkelaar

28-12-1999

This is one of those things I don't seem to remember much about. The Hörbar is a nice place inside the B-movie, a small cinema in Hamburg. No doubt Asmus Tietchens was there, since he later did a 'Kapotte Muziek by...' 7" for me. I don't recall who else played that evening. A pretty silent concert. Players: Frans de Waard, Peter Duimelinks, Roel Meelkop. Gig 60 Horbar, Hamburg, Germany

27-12-1984

Late one night I liked to listen to the radio and I taped this thirteen minute segment, which I copied in an edition of 10 copies with 'handpainted' cover. I think I may have planned more volumes with raw sounds. In those very early days Kapotte Muziek was mainly about use and re-use sounds in various combinations. I gave the other nine copies of 'Raw Sounds Vol.1' away and people used them. In 1987 I released a compilation with those pieces as Death Pact International 'Terror Leads To Better Days' (named after a line from a Portion Control song, in case anyway was wondering). You could still use these sounds of course.

(Note: These ten copies where given away to ten groups (including Kapotte Muziek) in order that these groups could use this tape as a backing tape to their own music. 9 Contributions where made, and released as Death Pact International - Terror Leads To Better Days (Korm Plastics KP 23 - April 1987 - edition of 23 copies) which were sent out again to labels to have it released themselves in different
covers)
