First thing I got from KM was live LP on RRR. At that time I was much more interested in Japanese noise and power electronics, and was quite annoyed by the quiet electro-acoustic. Another piece I got was "Murmel" tape on GROSS label, which didn't impress me much then. The annoying short loop going on and on...

There is difference in very early works of KM, and 90's works and then stuff later on. Some of stuff I have appreciated are:

KM at early anti-racist noise compilation, directed against, hehe.. AWB/Terre Blanche! Style kind of Total Sex album era Whitehouse?!

Here KM takes part in good ol' neckparty with lo-fi electronic carnage!

Kapotte Muziek + Grey Wolves = Death Pakt II... how brilliant?

etc...

But in turn to 90's, style has started to change? This is perhaps related to Christian Nijs leaving Kapotte Muziek and raw materials would be from elsewhere? Or just Frans.

The Four Boxes tape on Spite is my favorite, the notes on the tape state that sleigh bells are the only sound source, but the sound limitations of cassette tapes seem to reinforce the low end and it gives of the illusion of isolation, but is actual wide open and almost wind swept.

I have quite a lot liked project called THE TOBACCONISTS. Recently visiting "Smoking Is Green" LP+CD set. Perhaps too much information scattered among brain-cells, but didn't fully connect that this is actually project involving Frans De Waard and Scott Foust (Idea Fire Company, XX Committe, Tart, etc..).

It's weird stuff, and certainly can't be fully experienced by hearing short sample. Simply due vast diversity of material. I do prefer LP way over the "Radiophonic Opera" on the CD. There is something what makes me think if Smell & Quim was doing quieter electro-acoustic art, would it sound like this? CD has plenty of humor in it. LP is far more into simply being sonically interesting journey.

While I do find trivialities of humoristic smoking theme being sort of turn off, at the same time it awakes question what if someone could capture sonic equivalent of consumption of peaty & smoky whisky? As example of good tracks on album, I could link the final track of LP. Packaging of release reminds of pack of tobacco. Instead of warnings on health risks, white large square on back covers has manifest of greatness of it. One would have to agree with logic of getting people killed possibly 30 years sooner is certainly green.

I love the History Is What Was 12". Recently bought some of the early 7"s and they are mostly pretty bad pressings and couldn't hold my attention..

Kapotte Muziek is one of those projects from which I've collected a large number of releases without ever quite managing to call myself a "fan". Or at least, a fan of the sound- if there is an identifiable sound. If the project has any faults, predictability is certainly not one of them. The aesthetic I've enjoyed, the whole "recycled music" thing and such (even if it doesn't actually sound like Merzbow). Soundwise, I gravitate toward the more classic industrial mumblings, dreary dirgescapes, old clunky heavy machinery lumbering away in the next room, the stuff that could serve as grubby answer to Beequeen, an atmosphere all but owned by S*Core[edit: at least in my brain]. The Use Of Recycling is a good one in this regard, as would be Lauter and Metamusikk (with Origami Replica). The mentioned History Is What Was also ticks the box. And the Clyiscsert tape on Old Europa has a nice kind of "epic" flow if you will. This kind of thing would no doubt bore me in a live setting, but as a soundtrack to the way I feel most of the time I can certainly dig it.

He did also some intense live shows as death pact international. Not sure he was involved in any of the old tapes, but probably so.

Murmel I like. That simple idea of manipulating a short sample repetition always seems to work alright to me.

For some reason I've been thinking there's been a connection between this project and Club Moral. Is that right or wrong?
