KLAPS follows the soundscape of audio artist Karl Blau-- Kelps are sent out periodically in the format of CD: songs and sounds, orchestrations and field recordings.

The term "Society" in the KLAPS name refers to the music being in the company of others. Also "Society" may refer to the people involved musically and artistically in KLAPS productions from the Northwest of the US and beyond; "Society" reflects Blau's inspiration.

The "Plagiarism"part is reflected in Blau's idealism that we are mimmicking our surroundings, just as they mimmic us.

In the title KLAPS, the word "Advanced" is a hat tip to God and humanity -- progression;

"Lunacy" is with reference to the lunar calendar -- one month -- which is the goal for KLAPS releases come goal time.

"Kelp" the actual sea vegetable grows very quickly and visually embodies music for the eyes, It grows in the Guemes Channel and all over the Puget Sound: home and stomping ground of Blau.

Roughly KLAPS translates to "Crazy-cool ripped off seaweed for all types of people!"

Subscribing to KLAPS is the essence of the KLAPS existence, the reason KLAPS came into fruition. New issues sent by mail to your door or PO Box, or your mom's house.

The CD-R format may be ordered from backstock if they have them here at the Connextion warehouse. The Connextion is my online fulfillment company from Anacortes, WA -- check them out if you're an artist that is hoping to focus more on art and less on the computer. Also via this Connextion site you may order sometimes LPs and 7" records of mine from various record labels as well as MP3 downloads of Karl Blau albums for super cheap.

It is important to note that part of the essence of KLAPS is the hand-packaging including screenprinting, letter-pressed, sewn paper, and often on recycled material. Sure, you can download Kelps here for cheap, but you won't get the full flavor of Kelp Lunacy and the rush of treasure in the mail. Sign up here.
