XX-04-1988

Just like Factory Records, I always thought it would be nice to have Korm Plastics branches in other countries. The most serious one was with Al Lincoln from Not Half, with whom I released a handful of tapes as Korm Plastics Canada. With Jeff Surak of 1348 and Watergate Tapes I only did one as Korm Plastics USA, an early anthology of compilation cassettes. It came with a nice booklet with detailled information. Later Jeff's new label Zeromoon as a CDR with the title 'An Apology Is Necessary' and these days can be found here. Apparently it has been downloaded almost 19.000 times. Oh.

I got to know Abo from Incubator who was selling the releases on Korm Plastics through his mailorder and one day he wrote to say he found a cheap pressing plant that did small run records. I immediately thought of doing one, a single sided record by Kapotte Muziek. The two pieces deal with processed human voice. The booklet comes with rather pretentious 'essays', but Knust did a great job printing that as well as the cover, which was designed by Freek Kinkelaar. Actually I still have 2 or so for sale. Just shout. No download as this will be part of the Blossoming Noise 10 cassette set, out somewhere in May.

While working on this blog my good friend Max from Lunhare. He already re-released two CDRs of old cassettes: one with Enhanced Room Acoustics (along with a great Freiband remix of that old tape, which was incidentally also released by him in 1996) and Electrocute, Gematria and Gilles De Rais on one CDR. Now today he releases a double CDR of all the Assemblage works. I posted about this before. There is also a remix by Freiband on this one. I have copies for sale, so e-mail me. The label, who has more great releases is found here.

The next day two cars drove from Chicago to Columbus, Ohio, as Vertonen's Blake Edwards was also to perform over there. The Avantronics festival was put up by Mike Shiflet of Gameboy records and was two long nights/days perhaps of music. I scanned the part of the flyer, but then misplaced it again. After the concert somebody wanted to trade a painting with me for a CD. The painting was all black, but I used it later on to create the visuals for the booklet that came with the CDR release of this concert, as released by Gameboy, in an edition of 100 copies. What you download here is that CDR release. The first piece is a line recording Kapotte Muziek did, and the second a microphone recording of the 'encore' by Jason Talbot. Peter Duimelinks did the edits for the release. This was the final concert of the 2002 US tour as Kapotte Muziek. The next night we played as Goem in Philadelphia. Players were: Peter Duimelinks, Roel Meelkop and Frans de Waard. Gig 79 21-04-2002 AvanTronics Festival. Columbus, OH, USA

While in Chicago, Andrew Fenchel took us to WMBR where we did a lot of things: short solo sets as well as a Kapotte Muziek meets Stelzer/Talbot thing. This download has just that. Players were: Peter Duimelinks, Roel Meelkop and Frans de Waard. Gig 78 20-04-2002 WMBR, Chicago, IL, USA

From Detroit we headed out to Chicago to meet up with Andrew Fenchel, the lovely man from Lampo. He is responsible for this second US trip, since he got some grant somewhere for us. So we stay two days in Chicago. The first night we played as Kapotte Muziek at 6Odum/Lampo, the next night some solo stuff and a Goem concert at the same place. Stelzer/Talbot also play here. Great place and Dan Burke delivered some of the best pizza we ever had. Players were: Peter Duimelinks, Roel Meelkop and Frans de Waard. Gig 77 19-04-2002 Lampo. Chicago, IL, USA
