The name says it all. I do like CDRs, and have made a few for various labels. So, why not venture into that again and release some of my own music. My own little label... Just basically simple ideas, notions or unreleased archive material from any of my musical projects. For the covers I wanted something different, so this time they are printed on photopaper, and all the designs are made by Rutger Zuydervelt of Machinefabriek fame, praise to him for this. Mentioned prices are exclusive postage. And if this isn't enough self indulgence, then check this

035 Machinefabriek & Freiband - Kilauea

On February 14th 2010 Machinefabriek and Frans de Waard played each a solo concert at Berlin's Rote Salon. Afterwards they played a collaborative concert as Machinefabriek and Freiband. Taking the material from their previous collaboration a bit further, adding new sounds to the whole. 4 euros. listen

034 Frans de Waard - My Own Little DJ Mix

This release is part of the German magazine Bad Alchemy 65, for their subscribers only. Copies are also for sale by me. Its basically a mega-mix of various releases on My Own Little Label, multi-layered and quite dense. Price: 4 euro. Listen tracklist

033 No Moll Lonely Nights - My Personal Christmas Album

While transferring old Kapotte Muziek works to my computer I found three tracks from 1989, which I had sent to RRRecords for some Christmas compilation, but which were never released. So I released my own little christmas album this year, with these three tracks, plus a Beequeen piece from 1997 and a Freiband piece from 2001. The cheesy title has been suggested by Freek Kinkelaar. Price: 4 euro. Nothing to hear for this.

032 Freiband - Martin - One [Live] Aspect

And of course the recording of that Brussels event which is something entirely different than Moll 031. 4 euros. listen

031 Freiband - Martin - Seven [New] Aspects

Not really new aspects anymore, but a re-issue of a 3"CDR originally on Tib Prod and now re-issued on the occasion of a Freiband concert in Brussels on December 11th 2009 that deals with the work with of Martin Hannett. 4 euros. listen linernotes

030 Freiband/Bass Communion - Headwind/Tailwind
3inchCD (factory pressed)

Last year My Own Little Label released 'Haze Shrapnel', a new piece by Bass Communion and a remix of that by Freiband as a 3"CDR. Already back then it was agreed that there should also be a release by Freiband with a remix by Bass Communion. Due to the immense success of that 3"CDR, the new one is now released as a factory pressed 3"CD. For 'Headwind' Freiband returns to the guitar playing by Martin Luiten (Pick-up, Uw Hyoptheekadvies) and produces a spacious computerized remix of his elaborate playing. Bass Communion takes matters further up the line in a likewise sizzling remix. 5,50 euros. listen

029 The Toboccanists - The Route (3"CDR)
Four early versions of material presented by Scott Foust & Frans de Waard. Full multi-track versions will be released later as a LP. That may put this release out of print by then, so get them while they last. 4 euros. listen

028 Foust! - Last Morning Rain (3"CDR)

A piece of environmental music/sound by Scott Foust from the Idea Fire Company, Tart, Tobacconists, released for the April 2009 European tour. 4 euros. listen

027 Frans de Waard - Heerlen Hiss (3"CDR)

Concert from feburay 2009 in Heerlen. In 2008 I composed three pieces for compilations which all deal with the sound of hiss from old cassettes, and some 'field recordings' from faulty cassette mechanisms. Two of those pieces have been released already, on 'Lasting' and 'Tabl For Six', and the third will come later this year on a new UK label. All of the elements of those elements are reconfigured in 'Heerlen Hiss' and the recording is a mixture of a line recording I made myself and a live recording giving to me by Edward Ka-spel. 4 euros. Listen

026 Freiband - Musik For No Title (3"CDR)

a re-issue of 2003 Freiband piece. It was back then released by Poland's Mik Musik, and part of a series of five (if I am not mistaken) remixes of source material I totally forgot about. Its a seventeen minute piece of laptop music processing. 4 euros. Listen

025 Beequeen - Atem (3"CDR)

the longest piece Beequeen ever submitted to a compilation,'Guru Means Slayer Of Darkness', back in 1996 on Manifold. Its been out of print for quite some time, but both me and Freek think this is a great old, and lost Beequeen piece, so we decided to re-issue it. It was made back when I lived in Den Haag, and uses multiple layers of a ventilator and a heating system. A fine lively drone piece. 4 euros. Listen

024 Frans de Waard - Verval (3"CDR)

A live recording from Extrapool, January 10th 2009. Live sound is being up by three microphones and three cassette players and then fed back into the mix. A slightly edited version. 4 euros. Listen

023 Frans de Waard - Profieldeel Zeven (businesscard CDR)

Soundtrack to the film 'IJzig Vuur' by Jan Kees Helms, for which I return to the material from 'Vijf Profielen'. 3 euros. Listen

022 Bass Communion/Freiband - Haze Shrapnel (3"CDR)

I have been in contact with Steven Wilson off and on for quite a while. Recentely he wrote me, we traded some CDs and he liked my little enterprise. He had a spare track of 12 minutes and 'if I want to release it'. 'Sorry, and why not do a remix then', as Freiband. Next time roles will be reversed. 4 euros. listen

021 Frans de Waard - Untitled (Le poeme d'une vie bien remplie) (3"CDR)

Rutger asked me to play on the same night as he did in Leeuwarden and 'if I could incorporate some text'. I asked Dmitry Vasiljev of Monochrome Vision to speak a short Mayakovsky text, in Russian of course, and this 3" captures the slightly edited concert. 4 euros. listen

020 Pick-up - From Here To Anywhere (3"CDR)

Pick-up is a new duo of Martin Luiten (Girlfriends, Uw Hypotheek Advies) on guitar and Frans de Waard on laptop. Two gorgeous pieces of digital blues? Well, whatever. Forthcoming is a LP on Important Records and one on Plinkity Plonk. 4 euros. listen

019 Freiband - Reflection (3"CDR)

Piano sources recorded on boxing day, transformed in the days after with the final mix on new years eye 2007. Moody textured music with a bite. 4 euros. listen

018 Beequeen - Long Stones and Circles (3"CDR)

Re-issue of a long out of print classic Beequeen work, based around various text by land artist Richard Long. 4 euros. listen

017 Freiband - Capture (3"CDR)

On March 14th 2008 the 2LP 'Audioscoop' was released, with a.o. a track by Kapotte Muziek. At the presentation I did a remix in the style of 'Captured Music' (on Selektion), using a lot of the sound material from the 2LP. This has become 'Capture'. 4 euros. listen

016 Peter Duimelinks - Revisie (Heroverwogen) 3"CDR

You obviously remember the split LP that me and Roel Meelkop did for Stichting Mixer (and if you don't: I have some left). Originally it was supposed to be a CD called Kapotte Muziek by Kapotte Muziek, which each of the three members doing a piece of twenty minutes, but as it turned out Mixer didn't like Peter's contribution and it turned out to be a LP. Oh well, too bad, since Peter's piece is quite nice and the purpose of Moll is to release interesting pieces, new and old. So this 2002 piece is finally released, and if I am not mistaken, this is Peter's first ever release with just him. 4 euros. listen

015 Howard Stelzer & Frans de Waard - Torn Tongue Volume 2 businesscard CDR

Howie and I have been working for years on various things, which found their origins in a spoken word tape. Volume 0 was part of Kapotte Muziek's 4CDR boxset on Audiobot and Volume 1 was released by Absurd, all ages ago. We planned to work on a volume 2 and I made some sketches for it, but we never got around doing anything with it. Until now. Howie and I returned to the four small sketches and made two new pieces out of that. Probably the world's shortest collaboration. Howie does a great dense tape piece whereas my piece is quite collage like and a bit louder than usual. 3 euros. listen

014 Elise de Waard - Geluidjesmuziek businesscard CDR

Of course the temptation couldn't be resisted, and it had to be made: Elise de Waard is probably the world's youngest field recordist, and her first release is all about movement. Recordings of train, machines, boats, belly, balls and voice make this into a lovely little item. 3 euros. listen

013 Wander businesscard CDR

The shortest Wander release, all computer based. One piece, called 'Wander'. What else do you expect? 3 euros. listen

012 Violet & Freiband - Fender Bender (3" CDR)

When I was in Washington I stayed with Jeff Surak of Zeromoon, Sonic Circuits and Violet fame. And someone whom I know for over twenty years now. Previous arrangements never worked out to record, but on September 11th we sat down and record some music, which in edited form is now released here. Zeromoon will release an alternative mix/version/treatment of the material. 4 euros. listen

011 Kapotte Muziek: #103: Tilburg (3" CDR)

On Sunday afternoon the 23rd of September 2007 Kapotte Muziek played their very first all acoustic concert on the streets of Tilburg as part of Acoustic Noise which was again part of ZXZW. Highly curious 15 minute concert, and the recordings are likewise curious, with people talking, bikes passing and us playing. 4 euros listen

010 Frans de Waard - Profieldeel Zes (3" CDR)

A remix of my own 'Vijf Profielen' is now part of my live set, whenever I am asked to play under my own name. This recording was made at the Sonic Circuits festival in september 2007. 4 euros listen

009 Radboud Mens & Frans de Waard - Garage Sale (3" CDR)

Radboud and I played an improvised concert at the Garage festival in 2002, which Radboud later mixed, but perhaps we never shopped hard enough for a label. Out of the five finished tracks, I choose three. It shows our interest in minimalist rhythm and a bit of noise. 4 euros listen

008 Freiband & Colin Tudor - Pantones (3" CDR)

Colin was one of the founding members of Zion Train and a regular visit to the Amsteram shop I was once at. He liked experimental music and one day mailed me a bunch of sound material from his solo project Pantonal. I reworked them, but didn't mix it, which I left for Colin to do. He did it, quite nicely, and it has been several years with some label, who didn't go about to release, for whatever reason I don't know. But here it is, missing one mixed track, but hey, I'm only doing 3"s and business cards. Rhythm glitch music, or some such. 4 euros listen

007 Frans de Waard - XI (For Christian Nijs) (3" CDR)

About a year ago I learned my first musical partner in Kapotte Muziek commited suicide in 2002, which came as quite a shock. This piece is built of electronic sounds recorded at EMS in Stockholm in December 2006 and various field recordings from my archive, not mixed but set back to back. A sort of 'in memoriam', keeping in mind some of the early day work of Kapotte Muziek. 4 euros listen

006 Freiband - Kapotte Muziek by... (businesscard CDR)

One day I was invited to play a solo concert as Kapotte Muziek, almost to coincide with the twenty years of existence of Kapotte Muziek, in October 2004. The recordings of that concert have been worked through extensively and found, at least for a while, a place in my Freiband set, as a sort of free form improvisation. The final mix on this business card was recently made and is by no means the end of it. 3 euros listen

005 Beequeen - White Bike (businesscard CDR)

Recently Beequeen completed their latest CD 'Sanddancing', which is now being produced by Erik Drost and which will be released by Important Records somewhere towards the end of this year. 'White Bike' was supposed to be on there, but both Freek and me thought the somewhat joyeus and naive mood of the song would not entirely fit the CD, and we decided to release it here. Actually there are three tracks on it, the original Freek sung demo, an excerpt from the recording session (the moment when we think of the balloon) and the final version, sung by Eva. 3 euros listen view videoclip?

004 Roel Meelkop - Business As Usual (businesscard CDR)

Let's forget what I said about not doing work by others... still no need to send in your demo, as I won't listen, but I made this exception for my closest musical compadres, and of course Roel Meelkop is the fastest of the lot. I know we got both thrilled when we first bought business card CDrs in Japan in 2001 for the first time, and when I started this little enterprise, his immediate response was: I want it too. So here it is. The usual Meelkopian take on silence. 3 euros listen

003 Freiband - Untitled Drone Work (3" CDR)

That lovely twenty minute piece that was previously released by Twenty Hertz in their 'Drone Works' series, but since it's discontinued, I thought it would be a good idea to do a 'repress', this time on a 3" CDR, with a somewhat different cover (from the same series of photographs actually). 4 euros listen

002 Freiband - Ice Field (3" CDR)

Originally the first four parts were to be released on a compilation by Ideal Records, but after having the piece for two years, they decided they wanted some drone music, which this is not. I added two more parts and now it becomes available again. It's a bit harsher than normally. It is said that the first freiband cd, 'microbes' was my first laptop album - but it was not; it was my last 'analogue' release. 'ice field' reworks the same material as on 'microbes' but now in an entirely digital environment. 4 euros listen

001 Freiband - Spaarzaam (3" CDR)

The reason for starting this little enterprise. A studio version of a piece presented on June 3rd 2007. A short concert with this piece, being a remix of Dagpauwoog, the local sad song trio which stopped their activities. While rehearsing this, I thought it would be a pity not to have some sort of documentation but with the length of seventeen minutes, it would be an oddity to fit on a full length. 4 euros listen
