Korm Plastics is proud to present the tenth release in the
Brombron series. Originally a co-production between Staalplaat
and Extrapool, it is now hosted by co-curator Frans de Waard.
In the year 2000 Frans de Waard and Extrapool started the
Brombron project. Two or more musicians become artists in
residence in Extrapool, an arts initiative in Nijmegen, The
Netherlands, with a fully equipped sound recording studio.
These artists can work in a certain amount of time on a
collaborative project; a project they always wished to do, but
didn't have the time or the equipment to realize.
Frank Bretschneider is one of the vital producers in the global
electronic network. A member of the raster-noton collective, he
also has releases under the names Komet and Produkt.
Bretschneider has created some spacial electronics of the late
90's and 00's, unlike so much output in the microscopic music
scene, his music has always flourished with activity. Precise
sound placement, volume levels and the contrast of tones in
Bretschneider's production makes his compositions captivating.
Bretschneider goes beyond the plug-in or plug research
electronics. He redefins the genre by rendering the parameters
playable, reentering the musical domain with unprecedented
ease. Bretschneider discovers the complexity of the virtual:
microtonality, clicks, complex rhythm textures, melodic
fragments.
Peter Duimelinks' music activities date back to the mid
eighties, in a time in which he co-founded the musique concrete
group THU20 with a.o. Roel Meelkop and Jos Smolders. Working
with THU20 was of vital importance to Duimelinks and it shaped
his ideas and concepts about sound and how to work with it.
Traces of this period can still be heard in his more
contemporary solowork, which usually consists of
field-recordings sometimes heavily reworked but mostly used in
it's pure form, and then organised into a composition. He is
also a member of the improvisation trio Kapotte Muziek and
electronic pulse trio Goem. In the last 15 years he has also
collaborated extensively with visual artists, film and video
makers and contemporary dance choreographers, and has had
several exhibitions of sound installations. He runs the
V2_Archief music/sound label and the audio.nl label.
In their playing together Bretschneider and Duimelinks go back
to the core of minimal, click related techno music, to the
early days of Komet and Goem. Minimal but engaging music,
always with the heartbeat pulse at the bottom.
