Extricate by Modelbau
The first ten years of Modelbau ended with the publication of 'X', a book and CD by Korm Plastics, documenting all there is to know (and see) about Modelbau. It also marked a substantial change in working as Modelbau. Almost everything was recorded 'live' in the studio in the first nine years. Everything was recorded and archived, and the best pieces ended up on a release. In 2021, it was time for a change, which meant working with multi-track recording and, to the end, many hours of processed sound were recorded and then meticulously edited and layered in the final piece on the CD. One piece in (almost) fourteen parts, with no individual markers, so as not to interrupt the flow - listen from beginning to end. Atmospheric, dark with an urgency, always moving and never waiting.
Modelbau is one of the many musical projects by Frans de Waard (also of Kapotte Muziek, Beequeen, Goem, Zebra, Freiband, Shifts, and many others), and the music he creates as such is quite lo0fi, using cassettes Dictaphones, walkmans, shortwave radio but also iPads. Modelbau has released over 70 releases, mostly on cassette but also on CD and LP, by such labels as Moving Furniture Records, Des Astres d'Or, Zhelezobeton, Econore, Grisaille, Cloudchamber and many others. Modelbau has worked with MvK, Scanner, Vertonen, PBK, Pool pervert, and Oprhax, among others. Modelbau played over thirty concerts in the Netherlands, Germany, Norway, Finland, and the Baltic States in the past ten years.
