: FRANS DE WAARD / klankschap#3 3" CDR
:
: Frans de Waard is mostly known by the various names he chooses for his
: projects (Kapotte Muziek, Beequeen, Goem, Shifts, Freiband, Quest),
but
: for a specific portion of his musical output he uses his own name.
This
: particular portion deals with environmental sounds.
:
: There are two groups of works to be found in his work as a composer of
: music using environmental sounds. First, there are the unprocessed
: sounds, in which the role of the composer is reduced to making
: selections of sounds. Here, Frans de Waard released 'Trein', a
two-way,
: split-channel journey by train. These works are to be recognized by
: their Dutch titles, which are very specific to what the sound is. The
: second group is made up of works that contain sounds that are
processed
: in the studio, either electronically or by means of collage. These
: pieces are called 'Klankschap', which is a fake Dutch word. 'Klank'
: means sound, 'Landschap' means environment. In 'Klankschap #3', Frans
de
: Waard uses the sound of a refrigerator, which makes an obnoxious noise
: throughout the day - an unsilent machine, which is 'silenced' in this
: piece. Although at a relatively low volume, it's not the intention of
De
: Waard to integrate so much silence. Other pieces are generally more
: upfront in volume.
:
: So far, two other versions of 'Klankschap' have been produced. Both
were
: presented live. The first at the Staalplaat 'Ear 2000' festival', and
: the second a JNR record store in Tokyo, Japan. Both performances will
be
: released as CDRs. Acousthetics will release the first and MSBR records
: will release the second.
