kapotte muziek was founded in 1984 by frans de waard, then living
in nijmegen, the netherlands. soon he was joined by christian nijs,
who also lived in nijmegen. they did not actually play together,
though: christian would record all the sounds at home on cassettes
and give them to frans, who would manipulate the material in
different ways (pitch-change, loops, etc.).
this way of working (using 'second-hand' material and recycling it
endlessly) became the core of the activities of kapotte muziek.
in 1987 christian left the project in favour of playing rock-music
in a real band. his farewell to industrial music was marked with a
memorable kapotte muziek concert (the second kapotte muziek live
concert) in v2 in den bosch, the netherlands.
until 1993 frans continued the project on his own, inviting as many
musicians as he knew to send in material to be recycled. this
resulted in collaborations with groups like sbothi, merzbow, de
fabriek, yeast culture, odal, asmus tietchens and many others. for
example, with merzbow a collaboration concert was performed live on
an illegal radio station in nijmegen. gradually, the harsh
territory of industrial music was left behind and other forms of
electro-acoustic music were explored.
in early 1993, plans to do a us tour resulted in a close
collaboration with peter duimelinks (member of another dutch
electro-acoustic collective, thu20). the 16 dates, in places
ranging from small clubs to shops and a radio station were so
successful, that it was decided to continue playing live. in may
1995, a third member, roel meelkop (also from thu20) joined and
they played several live concerts in europe (the netherlands,
germany, italy , belgium and the czech republic). as a result of
this, the 3" mini cd 'add' was released on staalplaat, amsterdam.
at the same time, kapotte muziek still exists as a studio-project
of frans de waard.
live
during live performances kapotte muziek explores the minimum input
of acoustic sound to a maximum extent. all sounds originate from
obsolete materials that we have found in the course of our
activities. every performance is preceded by a 'junk search' to
obtain new sound material. in the past we have used metal (from
very small to very big), wood, paper, plastic, glass, stones etc.
every object is thoroughly explored for its sound qualities,
amplified either by microphone or by contact-microphone. this is
combined live with pre-recorded sounds of acoustic, environmental
and electronic origin
