http://www.earlabs.org/label/LC/LC003.htm anyone ever heard of this? i stumbled upon it in dutch magazine oor (of all places...) in a review of stephan mathieu's remix of, well, kapotte muziek. apparently we, the dutch, also have a history in musique concrete!! and judging by the abominable remix by mathieu, who remains one of my heroes, we also have something to do with noise music. apparently the man behind kapotte muziek also collaborated with Merzbow in the early nineties during a live session on a pirate radiostation. how very underground! anyway, above link gives you full access to mp3s of his album which he decided to give away. |

ugh, Oor!! let's have a look then.. :) |

i know :/ in a good showcasing of their lack of depth, though, the reviewer admitted he had never heard the original piece mathieu had remixed. that's sad sad sad for a serious music magazine imo. could've done some digging. this album was rereleased online in 2003 notabene! shame, oor, shame. anyway, the music sounds interesting and pretentious (ofcourse). all recorded analogue, or so it seems :O |

yeah it sounds okay. does sound like it that mp3-ing this stuff does not do it justice at all, probably a lot of sound-detoriation in the process. and on Oor - what a crappy magazine. as you say, their lack of depth and knowledge is overpowering. interviews that look like they have been done in 5 minutes, etc. do they still have that awful "reading time"-thingy on each article? that was such a bad joke. |

no they dropped that, i think (i only pick it up waiting for the trains, mind you), but they completely messed up their review section. it's now in alphabetical order, which surprisingly makes the whole package look even cheaper than it did. yeah mp3ing it isn't the best idea it would seem, still, it's the creator himself who okayed the release this way. it was probably a better option than repressing 200 copies without it gaining any relatively widespread attention. come on you guys! FREE ALBUM! hardcore merzbow collectors out there should love this :) |

ok i like this quote by stephan mathieu about his remix a lot: taken from staalplaat.com: "With my rework for the Dutch band Kapotte Muziek, this concept topped itself out. I spent eight months processing raw material, resulting in the usual several gigabytes. When it was about time for me to finish the piece I returned to my files to edit them down in ProTools (Mac OS9). I re-listened to everything, made some adjustments, and then rebooted in OSX to work in Soundhack. After a little while my machine crashed, hard -- so hard that all I could do to restart it was to take out the batteries. When I finally rebooted in OSX it did nothing else but play this music for 30 minutes, a medley of my Kapotte Muziek material, finished by the computer itself" lol! i paid plenty euros for that! seriously, i appreciate it more now :) |
