While packing up stuff for Russia this week, the postman delivered, thank god for that, copies of the latest Beequeen CD ‘Portout Starboard Home’ and to fit the ‘travel’ theme we travel. Three concerts as Beequeen, and two as Wander:

12th October Wander in St. Petersburg (at Sigmund Freud Dreams Museum www.freud.ru)
13th October Beequeen in St. Petersburg (at GES-21, support act to Beequeen: Badoseneticcube)
14th October Beequeen in Yaroslavl (at Dom Muz)
15th October Wander in Moscow (at Ex Libris www.exlibriscafe.ru)
16th October Beequeen in Moscow (at Dom www.dom.com.ru/events/254/)

I can still mail out copies of this great CD (13 postpaid worldwide) until tuesday the 11th, 12:00

Leipzig

October 4, 2011 Leave a comment

Tomorrow I will go to Leipzig to build up my 4-channel installation ‘Transport’ at D21 Kunstraum. The official opening is next week, but I won’t be there as I am in Russia then.
I did a stereo mix of this piece and released it on My Own Little Label along with a special 3″CDR of a recent Wander piece, which started out from various rehearsal Freek and I did. Expect lots of field recordings, electronics, but also dominant guitar – quite a new direction for Wander. These can be ordered now.

Fever

September 2, 2011 Leave a comment

Apparently this was two years in the making but I received an invitation to participate in may or so, to do a cover of Peggy Lee’s Fever with Kapotte Muziek, but I decided to do with The Tobacconists. Scott sings and plays the trombones and I do the rest. The record is out now on Ultra Eczema and its great. A whole bunch of versions, spread out over a LP and a 7″. They spelled Tobacconists wrong though. I got 1 copy only, and its limited to 200 so if you want one contact Dennis real quick.

Interaction

September 1, 2011 Leave a comment

I am very happy to report the re-issue of ‘Interaction’. For many years I lost both masters and despite asking various people whom have a copy of this, I had to wait for Al Conroy of Not Half to step forward and sending me both tapes as digital file. Interaction was a two tape release, on two different labels, which one could play solo or together, with the option to freely mix both tapes together. Very much a Kapotte Muziek idea of that time – 1990. It comes, like two previous re-issues on Lunhare with a Freiband remix – two actually, one on each CDR. Lunhare has now re-released four CDRs of old Kapotte Muziek stuff and I am very grateful to them. Who knows, maybe more in the future!

Freek and I just bought plane tickets to go to Russia, mid October. If all works out we are doing this:
12th Wander in St. Petersburg (venue to be confirmed)
13th Beequeen in St. Petersburg (venue to be confirmed)
14th Beequeen in Yaroslavl (venue to be confirmed)
15th Beequeen in Moscow (at Dom)
16th Wander in Moscow (venue to be confirmed)
this means the first Wander concerts since 2003! More info later, and if you think you can be of any help, please contact me or Dmitry, also for any requests for interviews.

Just released by Auto-badau kassettenmanufaktur an untitled compilation cassette with lots of noise, and even The Tobacconists go out into the field of noise with their ‘Poor Man’s Music’, a short noisy piece.

Cake

Its been a while since someone baked me a birthday cake, but Surya did: last night at a somewhat premature birthday party. 45 candles, since apparently its bad luck to put the right amount on it. A great evening.

It seems like I was on holiday, but actually I wasn’t, or not really. But lots of things to report. First of all, the cassette, split, with Richard Ramirez was released, in an edition of 31 copies. I have 3 to sell. The Kapotte Muziek is a slightly edited version of our concert in Heerlen earlier this year.

A great review appeared of my Freiband LP here

Thanks with the great help of Francisco Lopez I sold old stock from my ‘mailorder’ to an archive in Murcia, Spain. That was a great clean-up, so finally I could do what I always wanted: put them in order, with a number on them, and generally clean up my dirty database. It took three days, but I am now happy to say that 99% of what supposed to be in stock is actually in stock. And now for some discipline to maintain this. Thanks to great help of her

I just approved the release of ‘The Many Names Of’ compilation cassette – more on that later.

The Tobbaconists LP will be released by a new label called Economy of Language, and lo and behold, it might be a 2LP set, inc our radioplay. That is the best news in ages!

The correct pressing of the Idea Fire Company 7″ just arrived, so more work looming – you see never a dull moment.

Ini.itu happily announces the release of the first Freiband LP, of which I am quite proud. Its gamelan music treated in a strictly computer way on one side and analogue on the other. For a while I thought about doing it as a Freiband/Goem split LP, but for whatever reason I forgot, we decided against it. Maybe because Goem is dead & buried (until someone dangles big cash for our reunion concert – any takers?). I will copies of this album to sell soon.
Ini.itu also has a contest:
Because the release of our latest LP on ini.itu by Freiband ( Frans de Waard ) puts us in a good mood, we decided to launch a little contest.

The rules are simple :
1. check our website ( www.iniitu.net ) and find out our email adress there
2. send us a picture of a rusty metal surface that you shot yourself
3. share this on your profile

The best photographer will receive an LP :)

and the winning photo will be posted here too…
