its also my understanding that kid baltan and dick
riijmaieker are the same person, not wanting to soil
his academic name on commercial releases.  there is a
song on the disivelt album called "the raymakers"
which is a play on riijmaieker's name.  50 years ago
he was making textures and cuts that would sound at
home in a laptop composition today. check it out!



Kid Baltan is Nat Lab Di(c)k, spelled backwards, in which Nat Lab stands 
for 'Natuurkundig Laboratorium' (Physics Laboratorium) of Phillips. Dick 
was just an employee from Phillips and during these days it was not done 
Phillips staff was being named at artistic outputs, so he couldn't use 
his own name. Varèse's assistant wasn't named either.

Loop machines were already in use at the WDR in Cologne.

But really, check it out :-)
