KBK also made music to short experimental films of film- and video artists like Shinkan Tamaki from Japan and Sabine Bürger from Germany.

The Kleefstra brothers are also playing in bands like Piiptsjilling and The Alvaret Ensemble, while Anne-Chris Bakker is also publishing solo-albums. Expect dark, dreamy soundscapes that tend to burst. Or like magazine The Wire wrote about the trio: “Two guitarists construct an icy enclave out of frozen drones and amplifier crackle, a veritable Fortress Of Solitude whose isolation is further emphasized by the poet’s intimately close-miked tones and distant echoes, giving an acute impression of expanses and depths both internal and external.”
