040 zebra - j05 50j recently jos smolders turned 50 and invited some friends over a beer and cake. oh and some to play to music, orphax, staplerfahrer and zebra. since the other two will release their piece on a cdr, zebra made an edit to fit on a 3" cdr of their festitive piece. three shure fire hits from their catalogue of meltpop tunes, 'muesings are jest the start' , 'dusty riveval music' and an as yet untitled piece from what is called the 'classic' album (to be released some day), but packed up with sound samples from the vast musical career of jos smolders. rather a nice version, for the true fans of all things zebra.

039 ezdanitoff - we bring light wouter jaspers and frans de waard will be on tour again in november and in order to prepare this, they went into the studio, recorded some great music and then decided to something else on the road afterwards. the studio sessions consisted on playing on all the analogue synthesizers there (moog prodigy, korg ms20, roland sh 01, juno 60) and they common theme is love songs, ballads even if you want. they were mixed  afterwards adding some extra material (field recordings, electronics) and doesn't sound at all like the previous release 'komeet'. for the tour they choose four pre-mixes as a tour item and it will be for sale until 'we bring light' is fully mixed and released. spacious synth songs!

frans de waard “kubus” c46 cassette

• stemmingen
  
• slag werk
  
  
• terug gaan

my own little label press release...

038 frans de waard - kubus cassette kubus kassettes, later to be called kubus kommunikaties, claimed to be the very first dutch cassette label. their first release was a pretty standard sort of rock release, but right then, after that, kubus started to release experimental music. they were 'different' to other labels, offering a more intellectual approach to what they were doing. rob smit, the label boss, had his own vision of the ambient music by brian eno: the four way musical universe, consisting of the musical matter, time, space and energy. in his own music, he delayed the playing of a glockenspiel and worked with the studio techniques, however minimal, to change the color of the sound. on this cassette i take his ideas, or perhaps i create covers of his pieces. 'stemmingen' uses a bow and a glockenspiel, which are layered extensively. 'slag werk' uses the same glockenspiel, but played rhythmically. the computer transposes it various ways, in order to create a more gamelan like feel and it uses extensive layers. 'terug gaan' started as a four track recording of glockenspiel, philicordia organ and sound effects, played in an improvised manner. the four track is then played at half the speed, and transferred to the computer, with channel three and four playing backwards. these four tracks are then played simultaneously and totally edited, but no other computer technique was applied. unfortunately the tape i pulled from the pile to record this one, did survive 'time' very well: the magnetics have come off, and i only noticed this after recording. so in good brian eno spirit - honor your mistakes - i decided to go ahead and use this tape, along with the imperfections of the tape. this piece resembles the closest approach to the original kubus sound. the first cassette release on my own little label - an edition of 50 copies.

ezdanitoff “komeet” three inch compact disc-recordable

• komeet (19:44)

my own little label press release...

037 ezdanitoff - komeet in 2010 the old and the new meet up, at least. the old, represented by frans de waard (kapotte muziek, beequeen, goem, zebra, freiband and god knows what else) joins forces with the twenty years younger peer wouter jaspers (franz fjodor, 4daladiez and vatican analog headhoncho). armed with their skills and tricks of trade (magnetic wave fields, crackle box, sound effects, contact microphones and such like) they went out to play a concert in budapest and wasted no time while being there. a temporary, battery operated studio in the hotel ventura served to tape their works while being there and resulted in 'komeet', a highly psychedelic electronic sound piece of comets approaching earth. a collison course of cascading sound.

freiband / bass communion “headwind • tailwind” three inch compact disc

• bass communion - tailwind (10:27)

my own little label press release...

030 freiband / bass communion - headwind/tailwind last year my own little label released 'haze shrapnel', a new piece by bass communion and a remix of that by freiband as a 3"cdr. already back then it was agreed that there should also be a release by freiband with a remix by bass communion. due to the immense success of that 3"cdr, the new one is now released as a factory pressed 3"cd. for 'headwind' freiband returns to the guitar playing by martin luiten (pick-up, uw hyoptheekadvies) and produces a spacious computerized remix of his elaborate playing. bass communion takes matters further up the line in a likewise sizzling remix.

frans de waard “heerlen hiss” three inch compact disc-recordable

• heerlen hiss (19:22)

my own little label press release...

027 frans de waard - heerlen hiss (3"cdr) concert from february 2009 in heerlen. in 2008 i composed three pieces for compilations which all deal with the sound of hiss from old cassettes, and some 'field recordings' from faulty cassette mechanisms. two of those pieces have been released already, on 'lasting' and 'tabl for six', and the third will come later this year on a new uk label. all of the elements of those elements are reconfigured in 'heerlen hiss' and the recording is a mixture of a line recording i made myself and a live recording giving to me by edward ka-spel.

• musik for no title (17:50)

my own little label press release...

026 freiband - musik for no title (3"cdr) a re-issue of 2003 freiband piece. it was back then released by poland's mik musik, and part of a series of five (if i am not mistaken) remixes of source material i totally forgot about. its a seventeen minute piece of laptop music processing.

beequeen “atem” three inch compact disc-recordable

• atem (21:21)

my own little label press release...

025 beequeen - atem (3"cdr) the longest piece beequeen ever submitted to a compilation,'guru means slayer of darkness', back in 1996 on manifold. its been out of print for quite some time, but both me and freek think this is a great old, and lost beequeen piece, so we decided to re-issue it. it was made back when i lived in den haag, and uses multiple layers of a ventilator and a heating system. a fine lively drone piece.

022 bass communion / freiband - haze shrapnel (3"cdr) i have been in contact with steven wilson off and on for quite a while. recently he wrote me, we traded some cds and he liked my little enterprise. he had a spare track of 12 minutes and 'if i want to release it'. 'sorry, and why not do a remix then', as freiband. next time roles will be reversed.

• untitled (20:10)

my own little label press release...

021 frans de waard - untitled (le poeme d'une vie bien remplie) (3"cdr) rutger asked me to play on the same night as he did in leeuwarden and 'if i could incorporate some text'. i asked dmitry vasiljev of monochrome vision to speak a short mayakovsky text, in russian of course, and this 3" captures the slightly edited concert.

• torn tape (3:01)
  
• virtual scissors (2:44)

my own little label press release...

015 howard stelzer & frans de waard - torn tongue volume 2 (businesscard cdr) howie and i have been working for years on various things, which found their origins in a spoken word tape. volume 0 was part of kapotte muziek's 4cdr boxset on audiobot and volume 1 was released by absurd, all ages ago. we planned to work on a volume 2 and i made some sketches for it, but we never got around doing anything with it. until now. howie and i returned to the four small sketches and made two new pieces out of that. probably the world's shortest collaboration. howie does a great dense tape piece whereas my piece is quite collage like and a bit louder than usual.

frans de waard “profiedeel zes” three inch compact disc-recordable

• profiedeel zes (20:25)

my own little label press release...

010 frans de waard - profieldeel zes (3" cdr) a remix of my own 'vijf profielen' is now part of my live set, whenever i am asked to play under my own name. this recording was made at the sonic circuits festival in september 2007.

my own little label press release...

009 radboud mens & frans de waard - garage sale (3" cdr) radboud and i played an improvised concert at the garage festival in 2002, which radboud later mixed, but perhaps we never shopped hard enough for a label. out of the five finished tracks, i choose three. it shows our interest in minimalist rhythm and a bit of noise.

frans de waard “xi (for christian nijs)” three inch compact disc-recordable

• xi (for christian nijs) (17:51)

my own little label press release...

007 frans de waard - xi (for christian nijs) (3" cdr) about a year ago i learned my first musical partner in kapotte muziek commited suicide in 2002, which came as quite a shock. this piece is built of electronic sounds recorded at ems in stockholm in december 2006 and various field recordings from my archive, not mixed but set back to back. a sort of 'in memoriam', keeping in mind some of the early day work of kapotte muziek.

freiband “untitled drone work” three inch compact disc-recordable

• untitled drone work (20:02)

my own little label press release...

003 freiband - untitled drone work (3" cdr) that lovely twenty minute piece that was previously released by twenty hertz in their 'drone works' series, but since it's discontinued, i thought it would be a good idea to do a 'repress', this time on a 3" cdr, with a somewhat different cover (from the same series of photographs actually).

freiband “ice field” three inch compact disc-recordable

• ice field • part 1 (3:12)
  
• ice field • part 2 (3:55)
  
• ice field • part 3 (3:03)
  
• ice field • part 4 (3:09)
  
• ice field • part 5 (2:48)
  
• ice field • part 6 (3:14)

my own little label press release...

002 freiband - ice field (3" cdr) originally the first four parts were to be released on a compilation by ideal records, but after having the piece for two years, they decided they wanted some drone music, which this is not. i added two more parts and now it becomes available again. it's a bit harsher than normally. it is said that the first freiband cd, 'microbes' was my first laptop album - but it was not; it was my last 'analogue' release. 'ice field' reworks the same material as on 'microbes' but now in an entirely digital environment.

freiband “spaarzaam” three inch compact disc-recordable

• spaarzaam (17:14)

my own little label press release...

001 freiband - spaarzaam (3" cdr) the reason for starting this little enterprise. a studio version of a piece presented on june 3rd 2007. a short concert with this piece, being a remix of dagpauwoog, the local sad song trio which stopped their activities. while rehearsing this, i thought it would be a pity not to have some sort of documentation but with the length of seventeen minutes, it would be an oddity to fit on a full length.

the tobacconists “ocean drama” compact disc-recordable

• ocean drama (28:08)

songs from under the floorboards press release...

ocean drama the tobacconists in april 2009,  scott foust (idea fire company, xx committee, tart, and the swill radio label) was invited to screen his feature length movie here’s to love in europe, as well as staging his the four accomplishments performance.  the trip to europe also gave him the opportunity to join musical hands with frans de waard (beequeen, freiband, shifts, kapotte muziek), who had been on tour with idea fire company in 2005, resulting in the ifco album vital. as both scott and frans are heavy smokers, they settled upon the tobacconists as the name for their collaborative musical venture (ashtray temple was considered, then rejected). scott and frans got to work in the extrapool studio, composing six pieces using a small keyboard, an echo machine, a radio, some pre-recorded tapes, a laptop, and some contact microphones. then, they took the road to perform in the netherlands, germany, belgium and the uk. at the end of their tour, they spent a week conducting proper studio recordings of all six pieces plus a seventh,  ’the dark secrets of dr. perati’, which was released as a 7 by plinkity plonk / swill radio. the six pieces will be released in 2011 as an lp, smoking is green, by hanson records / swill radio. one piece from the forthcoming record, ocean drama, was deemed suitable for an extensive rework using the entire principle recording, made by foust on a boat. this extended version of ocean drama, now available as a stand-alone album from songs from under the floorboards, is more spacious, giving room to each individual sound with a great sense of the ‘drama’.  it is the most radiophonic piece that the tobacconists have created so far. catalog no: floor8 format: cdr edition: 100

2003 release ; this is... by far... the most interesting record-object i’ve been able to stock via mms thusfar (buddha machine :: ha!) ... what ships as two cds and a three-inch cd-rom inside a resealable plastic display-bag (left) in fact opens up to be an inflatable möbius-strip / objét d’art that you assemble and inflate yourself (with the included red straw no less), then display prominently on your mantlepiece ... voila :: on top of all that, the two audio-discs are rife with excellent, exclusive material from a who’s who of the international sound-art scene ... plus the 3” cd-rom explains the project in more detail and contains artist bios & links & whatnot ... just plain amazing ... no collection should be without !!!

033 no moll lonely nights - my personal christmas album 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. the cheesy title has been suggested by freek kinkelaar.
