| december 2005 release pairing the nijmegen-based “broken music” trio of frans de waard, peter duimelinks, and roel meelkop with kuwayama kiyoharu (aka lethe), known for various discs on imprints as varied as celebrate psi phenomena, trente oiseaux, and alluvial.
the results fan out flames in all directions; the room-tone ethos of kiyoharu’s sound-world meshing neatly with the microscope-amplifications the kapotte muzieks. yet another excellent release from intransitive ... |

| recorded in the industrial city of nagoya, japan, "tsurumai" is an expansive album of rough electro-acoustic music. starting from a few small clicks, the music steadily grows outward, uneasily shifting and expanding. rude bumps interrupt narcotic drones, the telltale human hands of improvisation disappear into a mysterious group sound, acoustic and digital elements blur, vision fails, and time stops…
frans de waard began his kapotte muziek (literally "broken music") project in nijmegen, the netherlands, in 1984, and went on to found the korm plastics label. as the name he gave to his solo studio experiments, kapotte muziek produced tapes and lps of harsh noise, drones, collages, and anything else that interested him, casting a large shadow over the 1980s international cassette-trading community. eventually, as he pursued his projects shifts (for guitar drones), goem (for rhythmic music) and freiband (computer music), km became the live improvising collaboration of de waard and like-minded dutch artists roel meelkop and peter duimelinks. the trio performs by amplifying objects found in and around whatever location they find themselves performing in.
in nagoya, km met up with kuwyama kiyoharu, aka lethe, an omnivorous multi-instrumentalist whose work typically takes advantage of some acoustic peculiarity of the space in which it is recorded. he is one half of kuwyama-kijima, a cello and violin duo whose albums have appeared on the trente oiseaux and alluvial labels. he has also collaborated with campbell kneale (birchville cat motel), masayoshi urabe, hideaki shimada (agencement), and runs the annual lethe-voice festival in nagoya.
"tsurumai" is kapotte muziek's second cd for intransitive, following int004 "the use of recycling" in 1998. lethe also appeared on the compilation int023 "intransitive twenty-three" 2cd. |
