In Conversation with Frans de Waard (Kapotte Muziek, Beequeen, Korm Plastics)

Frans de Waard joins us today to discuss the mandatory “America’s Greatest Noise!”, Frans’ new book about RRRecords. We get into the process of getting the book together, his history with Ron Lessard, and more. Additionally we talk with Frans about his own noise history with Kapotte Muziek and his label Korm Plastics. Class is back in session, break your pencil in half and write the wrong way.

For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, we talk about the idea of recycling sounds, numbering tapes, early releases and lots more. This nearly 30 minute segment is in the middle of the episode on the patreon feed.

DMDN – Agonistes 1 & 2

In our first journey to the Netherlands, we encounter the fantastic DMDN “Agonistes 1&2” cassette on G.R.O.S.S. and fall headfirst into its grinding swirl. Sjak Van Bussell, the man that is DMDN, gave us some incredible information behind this tape. He also filled us in on other aspects of his work, including his band THU20, his label Midas Music, and his time touring with Merzbow and the Haters in 1989. Celebrate noise.
