Biography

Kapotte Muziek was founded in 1984 by [a=Frans de Waard], then living in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. Soon he was joined by Christian Nijs, who also lived in Nijmegen. They did not actually play together, though: Christian would record all the sounds at home on cassettes and give them to Frans, who would manipulate the material in different ways (pitch-change, loops, etc.). This way of working (using 'second-hand' material and recycling it endlessly) became the core of the activities of Kapotte Muziek. In 1987 Christian left the project in favour of playing rock-music in a real band. Until 1993 Frans continued the project on his own through the [l307494] series, inviting as many musicians as he knew to send in material to be recycled. This resulted in collaborations with groups like [a=S.B.O.T.H.I.], [a=Merzbow], [a=De Fabriek], [a=Yeast Culture], [a=Odal], [a=Asmus Tietchens] and many others. Gradually, the harsh territory of industrial music was left behind and other forms of electro-acoustic music were explored. Kapotte Muziek still exists as a studio-project of [a=Frans de Waard].
