item description

goem is frans de waard – probably most known from his ongoing work with kapottemuziek [since 1984], a group that fully concentrates on recycling through musique conc rete. besides he is a member of ambient group beequeen, quest, shifts and does »silly« [in his own words], preferable unsolicited remixes as captain black. his day-job occupation is with dutch recordcompany staalplaat.roel meelkop – visual artist with a strong interest in music. he is a member of the dutch electro-acoustic band thu20, and composes solo under his own name. last year trente oiseaux released his first solo cd [»9 holes in the head«], which was internationally well-received. together with frans de waard, he is also a member of the live version of kapotte muziek.

goem is entirely made with a device called »student stimulator«. this was found in a thrift store, and it‘s use is to give rhythmical pulses, to coordinate a steady response. the machine is used by goem to create a wide tapestry of beats, which are triggered by synths and efx. the result is listening music with steady beats.
