Frans de Waard

Frans de Waard is a Dutch musician, label owner and music writer who has worked in experimental and electronic music since 1984. That year he started both the project Kapotte Muziek and the label Korm Plastics. He is best known for Vital Weekly, the review magazine he edited and published, which began on paper as Vital and moved online as a weekly in 1995. Kapotte Muziek began as de Waard's solo noise project. Peter Duimelinks joined for a first US tour and Roel Meelkop came in later, and the trio now records only live.
