Kaspar von Urbach

About Me

In their work the Prague noise-band Kaspar von Urbach focuses on an obstinate and deeply unnatural sound-mining: partly from things and devices originally designed for very different purposes and partly from musicial instruments, effects and processors that are broken, left-off, cheep, despised, uncorrectly used, crap etc. (…the few pieces of more upscale equipment are a result of an uncontrollable urge to betray their own principles). Accidental feedbacks, unintentional noise and other „enemies“ of musical process have become important factors of KvU‘s creative effort, and are now treated as the band's nonliving members. In spite of performing with rock bands on rock stages, KvU have in the course of time quit the field of rock’n’roll, but they do not oppose sudden invasions into the distant areas of pop, folk and country or silence.
