XX-XX-1995-2004

A few more things that are not available for free download. These can all be bought through the usual mp3 sites.

This is our first release as a trio. Peter, Roel and me rehearsed a bit and from several hours of recordings we compiled this 17+ minute piece. The release had 99 individual tracks, the download (and CDR repress also still available) is only one track.
Details:
ADD (3" CD - 1995)
Staalplaat STCD 007

This one and the next were real CDs, and both can be seen as a round off of older material.

Red Stream RSR 0110

THE USE OF RECYCLING (CD - 1995)
Intransitive Recordings INT 004

The very final studio release by Kapotte Muziek is this one. After that the name is for the live trio only. First it was released by Fencing Flatworm, but that label quickly stopped after that. Since I liked the release a lot, I gave it to Retinascan who did, in my opinion, a better cover. They still have copies for sale.

XX-XX-1997-2009

This might be the final look at various compilations.

First there is this one, which is compiled by my old friend Peter Zincken, who is always a bit sex obsessed, dealing with the penis. My piece is called 'Penis Ruis' and contains feedback. Nothing to download as there are still plans to release this as a CD, which will include the Kapotte Muziek piece. I also had a hand on the track by Meeuw, called 'Berelul', which he recorded at my place.
Details:
'Penis Ruis (Live 30/01/1997) on Penus Rectus (3xc90 - 1997)
New Noise

And speaking of Meeuw, he releases only 7"s on his Meeuw Muzak label, but did two 10" releases and one 8" (more on that later). One 10" is called 'Vage Geluiden In Stereo', with short one minute tracks.
Details
'Re-betika' on Vage Geluiden In Stereo (10" - Meeuw Muzak mm 007, 1997)

A cover of Throbbing Gristle! Like they put 'United' on 'D.O.A.' in a super fast mood, I took 'Cease To Exist' from 'Second Annual Report' and sped it up until a one track.
Details
'Cease To Exist' on We Hate You: A Small Tribute to Throbbing Gristle (CD + 7", Jazzassin Records Jazz 006, 1997)

For our 2002 Kapotte Muziek US tour, Boxmedia released a compilation CD 'April' with pieces by Goem, Roel Meelkop, Howard Stelzer/Jason Talbot, Kapotte Muziek, Freiband and Shifts.
Details:
'Kawasaki' on April (CD - 2002 BOXmedia boxcd 017, 2002)

Antenne Records, that great shop in Tilburg, run by DMDN, released a compilation 7" with all the usual suspects, and the first 100 copies had a compilation CDR, which had a Kapotte Muziek track, an edit of our Rotterdam concert.
Details
'Rotterdam' (CDR with 7" Dutch Fidelity, Antenna Records AN01, 2002)

And back to Peter Zincken, who released a 3 CDR 'Nedernoise', which has a lot of great dutch noise artists, where I have a cut up version of the first version of 'Enhanced Room Acoustic'.
Details:

My notes also indicate a piece I did for Sasha Karminski, I:Wound. But I lost all further details on this. I do remember it was kind of remix.

XX-09-1987

So I forgot something in June. On June the 1st 1987 I did a second installment of a xerox art at Parkzicht in Rotterdam. My diary says: "The second copy-art installation was planned for that evening (party of the Art-Academie of Rotterdam), but as we were not allowed to use any paper in the building, and outside the wind was to hard, this installation did not really appeared. Music that was made for this evening is later on used as Frag/Ele/Ment (Kapot Produkt 00Q). Kapotte Muziek did join however Thu 20 (also performing that night) on vocals in the last piece they played that evening (this piece is released on Harsh Ears Now!! 5 by Midas Tapes)."
Frag/Ele/Ment mentioned here was released in September 1987. A carton archive box, filled with 75 xeroxes, 20 slides and a one sided c60 tape. The idea was that anybody who bought one could use these in any form (attached to the wall, boxes, objects) and make his own installation. Some actually did, but I must admit I seen very few documentation. I used the xeroxes earlier this year when I did a display at Extrapool of record and tape covers as a background. The download contains the music and the booklet, not the xeroxes or the slides.

XX-XX-1984-2010

So I was having a look at Discogs yesterday and will devote some posts to stuff mentioned there, just to avoid questions about them.

First of all that needs to mentioned is the series 'Kapotte Muziek by…'. Initiated following a talk with Ralf Wehwosky, who came to our concert in Kaiserslautern (08-02-1997) and subsequently grew into a nice series of 7"s and later CDs. All of which are based on Kapotte Muziek concerts, except Toshiya tsunoda, which was based on 'Vier Stukken'. One was never released, by DMDN, although it might still happen in the future. None of this is available for download, but here is something to see & buy even:

A final episode, by Jim O'Rourke, should still be in the works!

Also released was 'Kapotte Muziek by… Five Elements Music' on Moving Furniture Records

Then I saw a whole bunch of stuff which apparently have some relation with Kapotte Muziek, but I have no idea, as I was never send a copy:

and this one I have, but won't post:

and of course I'm on this one, but no idea where I am or what it was:

XX-09-1986-1997

A round up of all compilations which were released in September and which I found on the internet:

A true oddity:  Our track is divided into small 'links' which are put between every other tracks. The music from the other bands is normal garage/rock music. We submitted 1 visual, but we have never seen a booklet to this tape.
Details:
Kapot Produkt 38: 'Links' on Support Your Local Underdogs (c60 - Sept 1986)
Zsbrodj Tapes 001

Following the 'massive' success of the first appearance on this series, I asked Jacques van Bussel (then from Midas Tapes, now of the excellent Antenne Records in Tilburg) for some sound and some money. I added some sounds from Christian and its a pretty atypical Kapotte Muziek track.
Details:
Kapot Produkt 00B: 'Swing Sexie Sadie' on Contactdisc 5 (Album - Sept.1987)
Stichting Stopcontact cd 25
Kapotte Muziek Unit 01: Synth
Kapotte Muziek Unit 02: Editing
Kapotte Muziek Unit 05: Rhythm and noise

An early version of speeding up tapes by hand, leading to various works.
Details:
Kapot Produkt 00K: 'Collage Nr.1' on Durchsnittsanfall 1 & 2 (2xc60 - sept.1987 ed. of 250 copies)
Prion Tapes pr 5-6
(Booklet with one visual from Kapotte Muziek)
Kapotte Muziek Unit 02: Electronics, concept and recording

Again, nothing political here, I just used some material from the International communist hymn. I never ever was even remotely interested in communism, which is the death of the open society (its enemy to be precise). Maybe that's what I intended. I am not sure if I knew who Karl Popper was in 1988, maybe I did.
Details:
Kapot Produkt 00P: 'Proletarier' on Decline Vol.1 (c46 - Sept. 1988 - ed. of 100 copies)
Discipline Products dp 08

The link for the download has been removed, because there was talk (see comments) for a CD re-issue, but I have no idea if that was done. My track later re-appeared on 'The Malevolent Ear'.
Details:
'Disconnect' on Noise War (double c90 - 1993)
Mother Savage Noise Productions MS 08

A strange compilation with audience reponses to concerts. My piece is built from cheers from, I believe, all our US shows.
Details:
'Appreciation' on V.A. Lives (c50 - 1993)
IR Datum Supplies 1993

As said a few days ago, something went wrong with the two parts of 'The Body In Decay', this cassette used the same version as on the Minus Habens CD. The correct version is to be found on '[Not] Lost', more about that later.
Details:
'The Body In Decay Part 2' on Pathological Resonance (C60 - 1995)
Anomalous Records
(by labels' mistake this track is the same as 'The Body In Decay Part 1')

The only time I contributed something to a compilation released on DAT only, two hours of noise. Not on discogs, strangely enough. It has music by Kazumoto Endo, Dachise, Pain Jerk, Origami Replika, X-Ray [Porno], Test Tube Kid & Din, Cry Havoc, Aube, Government Alpha, MSBR and Lasse Mahaug. My piece is entirely no input mixer feedback. Since you can't find, just my track for download
- 'Magnetic Digital Response' on Pure Power Picnic (DAT - 1997)
Tidal Wave Recycling TWR 016

XX-09-1988

This tape, with four tracks, contains field recordings made at the local railway station, cut down to various loops and uses full force repitition. A typical production of that time.
Details
Kapot Produkt 0AL: BAHNHOF (c46 - sept. 1988)
Harsh Reality Music hr 79

XX-XX-1989-1998

Starting to round up a few things here, here is some more stuff lost, or oherwise unavailable for this blog.

First there is the Kapotte Muziek track to this one, a 100 lockgroove compilation. I barerly remember which one it is when I play this 7", and I definetly don't have a back up on some master tape somewhere. I liked this one and the RRR 500, which has 500 lockgrooves, but when recently someone mentioned there is also now a 1000 lockgroove record, I must admit I was not interested at all. I am not a DJ or a 'musician' who use lockgrooves. I think I rather to do the difficult and create loops myself, I need them.

I just looked this one up on discogs, looked at the image and I am pretty sure I never saw this one, or maybe I must have misplaced this one. I just copied my title from discogs, which vaguely sounds familiar (no doubt some reference to Small Cruel Party)
Kapot Produkt OCG: 'I Do Believe In A Pen' on Acousticide (c60 - 1993)
Apraxia

Now this one was released, I do have a copy, but not in a digital format (not even from the label's website). This is a remix of Clop Neplat, a.k.a. Mads Staff Jensen.
Details
'Klop Lo-Res Mix' on Clop Neplat (2LP - 1998 - edition of 200 copies)
Some Place Else ham 011

And also this one I no longer have a digital copy of, which is a pity. I seem to remember I put the master on a cassette actually for this. A 7" with Hands To, dealing with positive and negative sounds influencing the body or something like that.
Kapot Produkt ORF: Korperlaute (7" - 1990 - Edition of 100 copies)
Korm Plastics kp 2890

(comes with an insert)

I wrote about the next story quite a lot, unfortunately. A.I.P.R. was a German label who asked me for a 7", which I gave him. This guy who released, phoned and said when he received the pressing, something was wrong: black vinyl, white label as opposed to white vinyl, black label. He was going to repressed this, and I asked him to mail me a wrong one anyway. Needless to say he never did. Bernard Gunther saw a copy of whatever version of this 7" for sale in a shop in Koblenz, and I asked him to buy one for me. I believe he wasn't bothered at all. I don't think he likes me.

The only time I ever submitted something to a video compilation was this one: a static six image of a skull with the b-side of 'Weapons Of Musick' as its background. Christian and I did this when we were both stuyding to become teachers in the Audio Visual dept of our school. Not an ikon of cinema.
