Tapescene

When we released 1994 the splittape Kassettentäter on block4 with De Fabriek I thought that was it for this medium. It was intended a bit of farewell and Kassettentäter is a term from the times of Geniale Dilletanten in the 80s. In the following years I released on CD, Vinyl and later also digital downloads.

Fast forward to 2018, the french label Serendip Lab contacted me to release a Notstandskomitee album on cassette again, the first on this medium for 24 years. Now there are already 3 tapes out and some you still might be able to obtain, two Notstandskomitee and one of my project Akustikkoppler with Matthias Schuster.

Find that at https://serendiplab.bandcamp.com

Expect more to come, on tape and Vinyl.

While I am not so good at living in the past and serving nostalgia, I remastered gently and rereleased some of the older tapes digitally. The first three ones (Existenz, B.S.E., Homunkulus) of Das Kombinat are available on https://kombinat.bandcamp.com

Akustikkoppler

Akustikkoppler

Around 2004 Matthias Schuster and Malte Steiner started to record studio sessions together in Schusters Geisterfahrer Studio in Hamburg. The tracks are recorded in one go without any overdub and later just compiled and mastered for the different releases. Stylistic they don’t follow any rules.

Matthias Schuster started 1979 the band Geisterfahrer in Hamburg, combining from the beginning a Punk setup with electronics. In his studio he recorded and mastered in the next years nearly every release of the label ZickZack Records with diverse bands and artists. He started his own electronic projects Bal Paré, Im Namen Des Volkes and in the 90s Das Institut with the artist Trautonia Capra. Matthias Schuster still lives in Hamburg, Germany.

Malte Steiner started 1983 with electronic sounds as background for performances on his exhibition openings. He founded the avantgarde project Nebelhorn and later in 1987 the Industrial project Moderne Fabrikanten, but it was first Das Kombinat which reached a wider distribution since 1989. 1991 he started to work on his soloproject Notstandskomitee and in the next years several others like since 2017 the noise project TMS and the livecoding project codepage, both together with the artist Tina Mariane Krogh Madsen. After living some years in Berlin, Malte Steiner moved to Aalborg, Denmark.

New album available tomorrow

Wir haben es selber kaum gemerkt, aber heute ist aktuell unsere 25. NLW-Veröffentlichung erschienen! Herzlichen Glückwunsch an uns!!!

Es handelt sich natürlich um eine ganz besondere Veröffentlichung, die wohl jeden Minimal-Electro-Freak glücklich machen wird, denn natürlich handelt es sich um kleines schwarzes Vinyl:
