Topo Copy and Cosy Cozy joined forces for a series of musical library experiences. For each session musicians were invited to play adapted library music – live, from an isolated adjoining room – for approximately one hour. This to entertain people while discovering an extraordinary collection of printed art. The sessions were recorded entirely.
This record brings you (non-edited) excerpts from each set: Inne Eysermans — Témé Tan — IJ (Jürgen De Blonde & Inge van den Kroonenberg) — Jozef Dumoulin — Kapotski.
LIMITED TO 250 COPIES

Kapotski is a live plastic & electric impro trio. Its energy and singularity arise from the magic of playing together, from the dynamics that emerges between the three musicians Jonas Nachtergaele, Ruben Nachtergaele and Kurt Stockman.
Triple Deck is a release/installation that represents Kapotski in its purest form. For a week Jonas, Ruben and Kurt sojourned in a 19th century villa on the Normandy Beach to experiment with registration, play, improvisationand composition.
The result consists of three mono‐tracks, one by each musician, that were recorded simultaneously during an improvisation session. Every track gets its own vinyl record: one by Jonas, one by Ruben and one by Kurt. In this manner Triple Deck is made up of three synchronized records, which form an auditive reconstruction of a Kapotski performance. The three records are played on three different decks with three separate speakers. The decks are put on auto-repeat.
The three records are released together in a limited edition of 50 copies on the new label Les Albums Claus – Les Ateliers Claus. A special thanks goes out to CAMPO for being supportive!
Kapotski participated at “The Game Is Up” festival at the Vooruit in Ghent and made some DIY optical tone generator kits. We provided all the necessary components and a manual to build your own.
Check the prototype clip to experience how these will/can sound.
“Experience Art for Sale in the literal sense of the word with the arcade games trail in the Vooruit building. Just put a coin in your arcade game of choice and take a piece of art – of varying value – home with you. The game is up! asked all the participating artists to design art objects especially for the festival. Some machines guarantee a prize; others have more exclusive material to offer. To win these prizes, you’ll need more than a fair share of luck.
With contributions by Matthieu Laurette, Julian Dibbell, the Superamas, Aarich Jespers (Zita Swoon), the Germans, Reverend Billy, Andrea Crews, Carlos Katastrofsky, Eugene Chadbourne, Kira Kira, Kapotski and many, many more. Also including the Patchinko machine by Etoy and artists selected by guest curator Edith Doove.”
