Triple Deck
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!

Mixing It – BBC Radio 3
Robert Sandall and Mark Russell report from the Belgian cities of Ghent, Antwerp and Brussels. They talk to members of the group dEUS, electronica artist Eavesdropper, chamber rock drummer Daniel Denis, electro waste buskers Kapotski, singer-songwriter An Pierle, and robot maker, performance artist and composer Godfried-Willem Raes.
Mixing It followed kapotski as they went busking with a pile of old electric equipment (including a food blender and a child’s electronics kit called the ‘Science Fair’), a load of other toys and lots of percussion. They went to the Bar Centraal in the middle of Brussels where they were allowed to set up and perform. The piece ended when the food blender began to smoke and blew a fuse.
Mixing It was celebrated as a bastion of experimental music radio. Hosted by Robert Sandall and Mark Russell, it covered a wide range of styles, including left-field areas of modern classical, dance, rock and world music. The last edition was broadcast on 9th February, 2007
