Frans de Waard at Korm Plastics (check the catalogue!) just came up with this grand idea:
“A friend of mine is working as a butcher, and he suggested me to sell 1 kilo of CDs. I like the idea, so it’s a deal. This deal to be precise: one kilogram of CDs, 500 gram of cds in jewel cases, 500 without jewel cases, probably it’ll be around 15-18 CDs. You can ask for 2 cds, cdrs, dvds up to 15 euros to be part of it and state what kind of music you prefer (noise, improvisation, microsound, field recordings etc) and I’ll make a nice selection for you. Your opportunity to get a real surprise, a dip into the unknown and try out a few things, you wouldn’t think of. It’s 50 euros, excluding postage. An offer you can’t resist, I’m sure.”
Kind of sounds like my esc.rec. subscription offer, in the sense that you never know what you get exactly… I love surprises! Especially the ones I’m pretty sure to enjoy.

In general CD-r releases are faced with some persistent prejudices regarding quality and legality by distributors, resulting in the unavailability of regular music distribution networks for these releases. After a passionate plea by Peter van Cooten, I’m very happy to say that the Herfsttonen release is now available in Plato record stores across the land (if it hasn’t arrived yet in a Plato store near you, just ask for it there). Thanks to Peter van Cooten (for defending good cd-r releases in general and Herfsttonen in particular) and Ad Zwaga at Plato (for approval).

Esc.rec. had a really interesting weekend. First esc.rec. hosted the 10th ass-crack stage-hack in Havenkwartier Deventer with excellent concerts by Marcus Fjellström and Greg Haines on Friday. Quite amazing really. Then on Saturday esc.rec. presented itself at K@Rlab#9 in Ottersum (of all places). A lot of esc.rec. artists were present there and I enjoyed some really good concerts here. No bad apples to be found.
I also shot some pictures. You can view them here and here.

Esc.rec. was invited to K@Rlab#9 for a label showcase. K@Rlab is the new soundlaboratory of K@R. And K@Rlab#9 is the very first adventurous music and sound festival that they host. It’s a three day festival and the line-up looks promising!
Saturday the 22nd is the first day and it features a lecture on independent art & music by Wouter Jaspers, live performances by Transfolmer, Staplerfahrer, Jacq Palinckx, Pierre Bastien and label presentations by the good folks of Lomechanik, Korm Plastics, Vatican Analog, Tonefloat and Esc.rec. of course… A good line-up with a lot of familiar faces for all you esc.rec. connaisseurs.
Some more esc.rec. artists perform the next day in an electronic jamsession: Frans de Waard and Roel Meelkop.
Check the full line-up and more info overhere.
