'"Elfde Mixer is compiled of material taken from the Kapotte Muziek USA tour back in 1993. Both musicians have a lot of experience in several musical projects and therefore with different ways of working. Their versatility is clearly to be recognised in their work. The use of sounds, compositional choices and aesthetic display is one of clear decisions and conviction. Both pieces are minimal in the sense that there are no decorating elements. On the other hand both composers don't scare back of completely opposite choices in process and sound-use and take their 'concept' as binding as they prefer to. Hardly to be called minimal, more the opposite... Scanning through all surrounding possibilities they create their own, unique (and minimal!) universe. This universe is mostly dark, relatively empty and rather strange...It shares characteristics of soundscapish-music, but what is it we hear? Is it concrete music, synthesized sound, or...? Exactly, it has a puzzling alienated form of it's own. The focus lays very much with the raw appearance of sound and interaction between elements. It shows clear composition; the patience in build-ups, the abruptness of cuttings and the interaction between layers and parts is delicate but strong. In this case, less is definitely more."'

Featuring [Source Material] – Kapotte Muziek
B Frans de Waard - Fragment
Featuring [Source Material] – Frans de Waard, Peter Duimelinks

Side A: In the course of the years, Kapotte Muziek has given several workshops for anyone interested in their way of working. An important part of these workshops was for the participants to make field recordings. These recordings are now part of Kapotte Muziek's archive and have been distributed to the participants. Many of these recordings are exceptionally well done, as far as recording technique is concerned, but also as raw material, needed for the presentation of workshops. Roel Meelkop has used this archive for the track {Workshop}, using most of the material in its raw state and only with minor editing. Thanks are due to all participants, Frans & Peter and Martijn.
Side B: All source material used in this recordings comes from the Kapotte Muziek USA tour of 1993. Kapotte Muziek were that time: Peter Duimelinks and Frans de Waard. Recorded and mixed in September 1993, slightly revised in 2002. Thanks are due to: Peter, Roel and Martijn.
