On September 9th from 12 o’clock to 6 o’clock (afternoon that is), a new Tobacconist piece will be playing on repeat at de Oude Markt in Enschede as part of the Gogbot festival. Its dedicated to my recently deceased friend Anton Viergever. The Tobacconists will not be appearing here live!
Probably most known from his ongoing work with Kapotte Muziek (a group that fully concentrates on recycling through musique concrete) and as one half of ambient sound-artists Beequeen. As well as writing the informative and acclaimed weekly newsletter "Vital Weekly", Frans De Waard also founded the Korm Plastics label in 1984, initally only offering cassettes, but since 1992 offering an ever-growing catalogue of CDs and vinyl of contemporary experimental music.
