Kontakt Mikrofoon Orkest, formed in 1981 by Geoff Leigh in Rotterdam, was a short-lived yet impactful ensemble in the experimental music scene. The lineup included Colin McClure, Aloijsius van Saus, Gert van Seters, and Jos Valster. Their music blended avant-garde elements with a raw, improvisational energy, reflecting Leigh's previous collaborations with bands like Aksak Maboul and Univers Zéro. The group released a single, "Living in Rotterdam" / "Do the Residue," on the MCCB label before disbanding later that year. Their live performance at Theatre Dunois in Paris was recorded and released as "KMO Live In Paris 1981," capturing the band's dynamic and innovative spirit.
