may 2010 release (arriving august 2010, listed in october 2010 ; we’re anything but efficient folks) ; entirely impressive canonization of the work of frans de waard, (early member) christian nijs, and (later members) roel meelkop & peter duimelinkskapotte muziek (broken music), on the occasion of the band’s 25th anniversary ...

issued as a 10-tape box (each tape is pro-duped and imprinted, the box is wooden and branded, inside is a nice sceen-printed “libretto” and a photo slide) this set offers but a glimpse (albeit, a fairly lengthy one ; the tapes are each around 80m) of the kind(s) of approaches the group were up to ; plenty of extended minimal-synth figures, industrial-leaning tape collages, and general-purpose “home studioexperimental music, including collaborative work(s) with grey wolves & vidna obmana ...

essential and highly recommended !!!

chondritic sound (usa) #ch 127 cd

kapotte muziekpraag/rotterdam” compact disc

  • alternativa 95, prague, czech republic, 14.12.1995 (44:56)
  • i rip you, you rip me, rotterdam, the netherlands, 12.06.1998 (26:58)
a pair of mid-late 90s live dates from the kapotte muziek trio of frans de waard, roel meelkop, and peter duimelinks ...
chondritic sound press release...
the two live performances on this disc portray the sound of a microphone passing through antimatter - the haunting atmosphere of a slow drone, a glimpse of captured transmissions, the grinding crackle and crunch of a machine eating itself alive only to finally collapse in a sea of manipulated feedback ripe with wooden electronics running low on batteries.. recorded in '95 and '98, these two pieces both feature the line-up of roel meelkop, peter duimelinks & frans de waard. coreleased with pacrec.

roel meelkop(onkyo ok)” compact disc

  • i (6:54)
  • ii (8:34)
  • iii (8:21)
  • iv (7:50)
  • v (7:53)
  • vi (6:31)
2004 release of pieces by roel meelkop.
cmr press release...
launching cmrs new line of hand-numbered 78rpm dust jacket cd packaging is dutch sound artist roel meelkop. roel was a founding member of audio art group thu20 in the early eighties who continue to perform and record, is currently a member of electro-acoustic live project kapotte muziek, and the electronic rhythm group goem (both along with frans de waard and peter duimelinks).

roel has a long history of visual art, sound installation, curation and organization of various live music events in rotterdam, his city of residence, and abroad. his well-received solo work has been released on numerous labels including trente oiseaux (ger), v2_archief (neth), line (us), intransitive recordings (us), korm plastics (neth) and most recently tariff records (us) and klingfilm (bel).

onkyo ok is composed of recordings made during roels tour to japan in summer 2001 (along with frans de waard and peter duimelinks). where kiyoshi mizutanis yokosawa-iri cd (cmr1) uses primarily rural sound sources from a selected area, onkyo ok may strike a special chord and familiarity with anyone who has visited japans urban areas, cities and outlying regions.

various components of the rich japanese soundscape (to name a few: pachinko parlours, train crossings, crows, electrical machines, people) have been captured, abstracted (or not), blended and re-composed creating unique sonic snapshots of this beautiful and at times bewildering country.

the sound pieces are relatively constant over time (roels characteristic silences are at a minimum) containing numerous complimentary sources simultaneously building together into broadband structures, then falling away to focus on various seperate objects and events.

this album serves as a beautiful document and expression of the ever-changing japanese acoustic environment as it was at the beginning of the twenty first century.

my own little label press release...

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.

004 roel meelkop - business as usual (businesscard cdr)

let's forget what i said about not doing work by others... still no need to send in your demo, as i won't listen, but i made this exception for my closest musical compadres, and of course roel meelkop is the fastest of the lot. i know we got both thrilled when we first bought business card cdrs in japan in 2001 for the first time, and when i started this little enterprise, his immediate response was: i want it too. so here it is. the usual meelkopian take on silence.

artist: roel meelkop
title: >momentum<
cat#: nvo_oo2
format: cd
release date: august 05

limited edition: 300

this cd contains tracks that are based on works for specific spatial and temporal conditions. sound installations are very different from compositions for cd, because circumstances differ widely from one situation to the other. in general, my approach to sound installations is more conceptual and systematic than my approach to sound works for cd. the spaces and events involved demand a more specific response to composing than the loudspeakers in my studio and living room. sound installations are often multi-channel pieces, designed to fit in a certain space (in most cases an exhibition space in which they have to coexistwith other works of art) whereas works for cd are composed for regular use in a regular situation (in most cases most likely the living room). to turn sound installation pieces into something more regular is not an easy task and i have been pondering about this for some time. in the end i decided to just give it a try and with careful editing i was able to come up with a satisfactory translation. the result is this cd: it gives an overview of some of the installations i have done in the last eight years. some tracks are basically the same as the installation, others have been transformed into works that fit better the medium it is presented on.

 mixed by frans de waard, march 2005
revised by roel meelkop, june 2007
mastered by kimken at kimken studio 2007
designed by port (supported by graph)

a transborder collaborating album comprised of four leading figures in the world’s experimental music scene, which includes; roel meelkop whose musical activities date back to the 80's when he started thu20, and even now he still stands on the front line of holland’s electronic music scene; frans de waard, known as a representing artist in the european sound art scene thorough his projects such as staalplaat, kapotte musiek; giuseppe ielasi who organizes own label fringes recordings in italy; howard stelzer who organizes intransitive recordings in america. as if answering to their pieces, evala, an organizer of port, carefully added a bonus track by destructing and restructuring them, which came out as an outstanding remix with the ultrahigh-density. the achingly beautiful album floats between improvised and electronic music with a vibrantly disturbing quality.

ralf wehowsky (rlw) was founding member, and most important conspirator in p16d4.

peter duimelinks and roel meelkop were members of thu20.

profitable postal collaboration (or each one composes from another one's material) and between three current figures of electroacoustic musics. stratified resonances, shocks of sounds like tectonic plates, brutal ruptures opening on different spaces. a formal and structural work of the most interestings.

the perfect snapshot of the era in question ...
petri supply press release...

a reissue of the midas music tapes compilation of dutch and international noise "enkele gemotiveerde produktiemedewerkers" on c100 tape make available again some rare tracks in a new deluxe edition.

by 1990, the underground cassette network in the netherlands was well established. in cities such as asten, nijmegen, 's-hertogenbosch, utrecht, tilburg, amsterdam, wormeveer, and zoetermeer the noise tape had already been an essential listening experience since the early 80's.

midas tapes had compiled a great series of tapes called harsh ears now, followed by the zondig lp, and then the long, 100 minute enkele gemotiveerde produktiemedewerkers compilation.  packed with high energy tracks, e.g.p. features screeching live sessions of post destruction music and dva met dva nichts, alongside solo work by winter (aka peter duimelinks of v2 org.), guido doesborg (dwarf farm), ios smolders, roel meelkop (mailcop) and thu20 a collective featuring many of these same people. kapotte muziek and mission papua holland contribute tracks as well.

the international network has been the lifeblood for dutch labels to exist and profit through partnership distributions throughout europe, japan, and north america. at that time artists on different continents already had achieved a comfortable connectedness through postal exchanges. every act on e.g.p. participated in the global art network, and earned the humorous e.g.p acronym, which translates to independently-motivated-production workers (a desirable work trait!). achim wollscheid and lieutenant caramel have supplied interesting sound collages from germany and france.  merzbow and (kk) null perform some high quality japanoise. from north america, smersh, emil beaulieau, gregory whitehead, hands to, arcane device, and yeast culture also serve up an assortment of american style sound processing.

as a payback and thank you to those involved in this tape, incubator has republished this tape in an american edition in 2009.  included are brief track notes in a fold open screen printed 5 x 8" cassette sleeve. limited to 240.
