Mixer LP 02 review
Elfde Mixer is compiled of material taken from the Kapotte Muziek USA tour back in 1993. De Waard's "Fragment" is an edited version of a live-show did at that time (but still very close to the original recording), Roel Meelkop's side is reworked a bit more drastically and build from soundmaterial collected during the several workshops Kapotte Muziek has given while touring. Both musician's versatility is clearly to be recognised in their work. The use of sounds, compositional choices and aesthetics is one of clear decisionsand conviction. Both pieces are minimal in the sense that there are no decorating elements. On the other hand both composers don't scare back of contradicting choices in the process and take their "concept" as binding as they prefer to. Hardly to be called minimal, more the opposite... Scanning through all surrounding posibilities they create their own, unique and highly narrative universe. It shares characteristics with soundscapish-music, but what is it we hear? Is it concrete sources, synthesized sound, or...? Exactly, it has a puzzling intrinsic form of it's own. The focus lays very much with the raw appearance of sound and interaction between elements. It shows clear composition; the patience in its architecture, the abruptness of cuttings and the interaction between layers and parts is delicate but strong. Fragment and {Workshop} make a complete LP, rounded off by two musicians with strongly complementing ideas about music and sound. Roel Meelkop and Frans de Waard have released on Raster-Noton, Staalplaat and 12K & Line a.o., and played worldwide as Kapotte Muziek and Goem, as well with their solo-performances. 300 COPIES LTD !
