RISO to go along with Kapotski’s Release ‘Triple Deck’

‘We Play Together’

KAPOTSKI means music, live impro, plastic & electric, analog-digital-mechanical, bricolage, … The magic of Kapotski is about the interplay and the dynamic that arises while these three musicians (Jonas Nachtergaele, Ruben Nachtergaele & Kurt Stockman) are playing together on their self constructed sound machines. Having spent a week in France, experimenting with different ways of recording, playing, improvising and composing, they returned back home with this Triple Deck vinyl installation. This way Kapotski wants to capture that purest moment of playing music and improvising together, and getting it as accurate as possible to the listener.

The results are 3 mono-tracks, one by each musician, recorded together during an impro session. Each track is then pressed onto one vinyl disk, with the aim of spinning those three records simultaneously on 3 decks, each deck connected to its own speaker. A reconstruction of a Kapotski performance, quite literally.

Triple Deck is the first release of ‘Les Albums Claus’. The logical next step for les ateliers claus to broaden its view and scope. It will be released as a 3 record boxset, limited to 50 copies only. Each record will have a full personal recycled cover, painted and decorated by all kind of artists (painters, actors, dancers, musicians… ) in red, green or blue. And some Topo Copy Prints!

The official presentation was held in WIELS on the 1st of October

For this occasion, Kapotski invited Dj Grazzhoppa, Frederic Le Junter and Dick van der Harst to give their interpretation of the Triple Deck. Three very different musicians, but all masters in their own domain (electronic, bricolage and classical). Ben Bennaouise was the host of the evening, soundscapes were provided by dj Oscar Loman.
