jon mueller & martijn tellinga - brombron 13
korm plastics kp 3028
minicd only

korm plastics is proud to present the eleventh 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.

jon mueller and martijn tellinga have started a collaboration to explore the musical dialogue between the instrumentalist and realtime computer-performer. their mutual interest in the outlining and structuring of improvisation, both in sonic properties and compositional shape, resulted in an ensembled playing that is partly responsive, partly autonomous.

during their residency at the extrapool studio in nijmegen, netherlands december 2005. during this residency they experimented with a system that consisted of live-sampling and processing of jon's playing, on top of a layer of pre-recorded soundmaterials taken from a previous session. crucial to this system, was that the actual triggering of the samples and processing in the computer during performance was also caused by that same playing; i.e., while jon was improvising he not only provided new sonic material for recording, but also triggered previously recorded events. the realtime manipulation and transformation of these events was done by martijn following that same structural order. this experimental system was developed to get to a musical body that can either blend into one (percussion and computer) or exist as two entities that function in an autonomous way (bypassing the triggering and playing the computer as a stand-alone instrument, using the same set of soundmaterials) and perform by listening and responding to each others input. this can be seen as an attempt to get beyond the many electro-instrumental collaborations where the computer-performer seems to function as a huge effect-processor of the instrumental input, and by doing that, reduces the instrumentalist to a soundsource for realtime processing.

jon mueller has been an active drummer and percussionist since the early 90s. whether utilizing bombastic minimalism, dense interplay, or electroacoustic practices, his approach focuses on a physical dialog between situation and material. he has been featured on numerous recordings and has performed throughout the u.s., japan, and the netherlands. he has performed/recorded with: aranos, keith berry, jarboe, tetuzi akiyama, jason kahn, asmus tietchens, jack wright, carol genetti, collections of colonies of bees, tatsuya nakatani, hal rammel, steve nelson-raney, jim schoenecker, bhob rainey, glenn kotche, pele, steven hess, werner moebius, lionel marchetti, adam sonderberg, tim catlin, matt turner, achim wollscheid, fred lonberg-holm's lightbox orchestra and others.

martijn tellinga (1974, netherlands) is a composer and sound-artist in the field of new electroacoustic music and sonic arts. his work shows a great care for textural qualities and eye for compositoric detail and seeks its identity somewhere in the overlap of formalized form and intuitive musicmaking. more than relying on melody, harmony and rhythm, these works are constructed from the fundamental building blocks of music: timbre, texture, volume and time-elapse. tellinga composes for quadraphonic- and multichannel environments, exploring both sonic directionality as well as spatial characteristics of the physical setting the work is performed in. currently he is pursuing a master's degree in sonology at the royal conservatory the hague - netherlands, studying with paul berg and kees tazelaar.

in the past years his work has been performed and exhibited at numerous occasions inthe netherlands and international festivals in belgium, france, germany, finland, uk, austria, swiss, italy, portugal, greece and usa. works have been commisioned by labels such as - korm plastics - (hol), - spekk - (japan), - cronica electronica - (portugal) and - stichting mixer - (hol).

tellinga has collaborated with several filmmakers, video-artists and autonome artists, providing soundtracks for animated - and short films and developing installation-like media environments. he has worked with a.o. finnish filmmaker and journalist sami kallinen, autonome artists jan robert leegte and sagi groner and is currently developing an integrated audio-visual performance with austrian video-artist dextro.

his ongoing project 'boca raton' particularly deals with the synthesis between concrete -unstaged- sound and synthetic sonorities. as it has never shown any steady state what-so-ever, the project develops over time according to the composer's ideas and capacities, within the flexibalised margins of this field of interest. together with dutch composers radboud mens and danny de graan he forms 'elmgar ten', building soundinstalltions functioning as performance-tools. furthermore he has recently started an electro-instrumental collaboration with percussionist jon mueller, to explore the musical dialogue between the instrumentalist and realtime computer-instruments.

in 1999 he started the platform for contemporary electro-acoustic music stichting mixer, having organised numerous events and released over 25 titles today. finally, he is programmer for the dutch new music radiostation 'de concertzender', being one of the 4 programmers for '230 volt', a weekly program focussing on historic and contemporary electro-acoustic music.

cd only

korm plastics is proud to present the eleventh 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. since 2002 worm, a rotterdam based music organisation, is also taking part in brombron and this new release is the first to emerge out of their studios.

many years ago, felix kubins uncle walter knoth was looking for a composer to musically illustrate some of his old- fashioned brilliant schlager texts. naturally, his first choice was his own nephew felix - but obviously this young guy did not have the versatile qualities to manage such a thing on his own.

walter placed some big advertisements in all the important german music mags. after a long period of auditioning madonna- lookalikes, wanna-be-genesis-p-orridges and bearded kraut rock acidheads, dutch pop mogul frans de waard showed interest and decided to take the rotterdam group coolhaven into the boat - an ecclectonoclast trio consisting of dorn, fregge and guy simons. this menage-- quatre was supposed to record another top-selling album for de waards brombron series.

due to budget reasons the musicians were only given a period of one week to work on their songs in a dirty old studio in rotterdam (studio l6s - for all your special projects). nevertheless, the hyperactive quartett managed to record about 18 hours of rough material which was finally melted down to 42 minutes of sheer brilliance. under the influence of strange instruments, dusty corners and atmospheric pain, the recording resulted in a fruitful mixture of german weirde welle optagonism, conservative hiphop, stockhausen schlger, no improv mixing and gabberpop. the mixing was done in long sessions (the longest being 36 hours) where everybody could have his say. thats why it took 18 months to release the bitch. but here she is; suppe fr die nacht. have some. and don't ask questions.

joe colley / jason lescalleet “brombron 09: annihilate this week” compact disc

prayer
nervous laughter
hazards peculiar to the night
when the music's over

first title in the brombron series i’ve been able to stock (thanks to jason for dropping these off!) - titles in said series all result from short stays in the extrapool / knust compound in nijmegen, where artists are invited to come and not just play a concert but use the tape-studio to build a record, then use the print-studio to make the artwork! now that’s the kind of gesamtkunstlösung i can get behind...

joe colley / jason lescalleet - brombron 09: annihilate this week
korm plastics kp 2024

korm plastics is proud to present the ninth 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.

colley and lescalleet had never met before their grey week in nijmegen. though neither of these melancholic composers were prepared for the conflicts and compromise of this collaboration, they found common ground in rejecting the need for deep meaning or complex concepts.

46 minutes remain after harsh judgement from two perpetually dissatisfied artists.

but what does it sound like?

amidst the detritus of yard sale junk and old, broken equipment, colley and lescalleet engage in the pursuit of resurrecting the essence of sound and exposing beauty that others discard. locked away in the recording studio of geluidwerkplaats extrapool for ten days, they found music in the natural process of decay. these compositions seem weathered and eroded. rather than aiming for excitement or dazzling expression, colley and lescalleet embrace the tedium of everyday life as something beautiful and compelling. this is music with a slow absorption rate and a high toxicity.

korm plastics is proud to present the eigth 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.

"i was introduced to giuseppe ielasi over email in 1999 or 2000 (i don't remember presicely), by a guy who ran a music magazine in italy called blowup. he was writing about cds on my label, intransitive, and suggested that i get in contact with his friend giuseppe, who was starting a label called fringes in milan. giuseppe and i exchanged some cds of our music, corresponded for awhile, and discovered that we had much in common.

giuseppe came to the us to promote his "right after" album with domenico sciajno, and we got along immediately. we're about the same age, have a similar temperament, play a similar sort of music, are from a similar kind of background, are excited about records, we love to eat, we're both kinda nerdy... yeah, giuseppe is my kind of guy! we had spoken about collaborating at a few points over the years, but somehow it just never happened, probably because we're so busy with our various projects and labels. so when i was offered a brombron residency, i thought it would a perfect opportunity to spend some time hanging out and playing music with giuseppe.

the method we chose was to first proceed to the closest coffee shop for a breakfast of cheese and meat sandwiches (me) and cookies (giuseppe), then we'd record improvisations for a few hours until lunchtime. i primarily used cassette tapes and giuseppe used a guitar, but we also both played synths and electronic doodads and microphones, and i made some tape recordings around the city that i brought back in to our improvisations. our minds were open, and we experimented without deciding in advance what sort of album we might be making. we'd then take a long walk, go to the nijmegen record shops (where plurex records are still cheap!), have some lunch, maybe also a snack, and then start to edit out the good bits from the morning. we'd also add some effects and change some parts, use the recordings as source material in a small way. then we'd return to the record shops to buy the records we hesitated on in the afternoon, have some dinner and relax. the next day, we'd wake up, have coffee, and do it again. our pace of working and comfort matched quite well. for the final few days of the residency, we started to piece together our bits until they worked as compositions. then we edited some more until the album emerged.

about the title.... we gave a duo concert at extrapool as part of the requirements of our residency. there was an art opening happening at the same time, so the gallery was packed with people. it was a lot of fun, but it also made us both feel a bit strange; we're somewhat awkward in social situations, and didn't know anyone at the extrapool party except for frans and roel meelkop, who drove out from rotterdam. after our set, we split to go get more fried dutch snacks. along the walk, we talked about how we used to go out to parties more often when we were younger, but now we aren't even so old and we generally enjoy staying at home where it's quiet, listening to records and reading. giuseppe was reminded on the song by arthur russell, "losing my taste for the nightlife". maybe we are. or, maybe that's just how we felt on that evening. it doesn't matter, really, i suppose."

kodi & pausa - brombron 07: in one week and new toys to play

korm plastics kp 3018

korm plastics is proud to present the seventh 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.

natalie bruys (kodi) is foremost a visual artist who studied at de rietveld academie in amsterdam, where she graduated with the production of a vinyl record with her own music. she then moved temporarily to berlin where she continued to produce her own unique blend of soundscaping, plunderphonica and techno.

lukas simonis (aka pausa) has his roots as an instrumentalist and musical 'activist' in the industrial music and noise rock of the eighties ( throbbing gristle, the residents, pere ubu, sonic youth and beyond). being a part of the rotterdam jazzbunker scene (a collective that consisted of heavy drug induced punk rockers, freejazzers, early electronic musicians and pre-postrock combo's) he discovered the delimited world of improvisation. in the meantime he played in bands like dull schicksal, trespassers w and morzelpronk. at the same time he was writing for underground magazines like trespassers w, opscene, mondain den haag and the koekrandt as well as organizing concerts, events and films, first at the jazzbunker in rotterdam later on the dissonanten festival, the dissidenten festival, popifilm, dodorama and finally worm, a multimedia centre for experimental art. at the moment simonis plays in coolhaven (with peter fengler and hajo doorn), liana flu winks (with nina hitz and wilf plum), apricotmylady (with the bohman brothers and ann laberge), the static tics (with henk bakker) and vril (with chris cutler and bob drake). this sounds like a lot of work (and sometimes it is) but these bands and projects all exist only a few weeks or months a year. (so time enough to sit at home).

on 'in one week and new toys to play' kodi & pausa combine their totally different background of rock and techno, playing the studio's analogue synth collection (aka the new toys to play) but also guitar, banjo, rhythmbox and a touch of the city's sounds through their use of field recordings.

frank bretschneider/peter duimelinks - brombron 10: fflux

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.
