Binnen het team van Nu architecten ontwikkelde ik het geluidsontwerp voor ‘C Mine expeditie’ in Genk, een avontuurlijke tocht door de ventilatietunnels van de mijn van Winterslag. Het parcours focust op zintuiglijke beleving en prikkelt de verbeelding. Architect Halewijn Lievens op ‘de wereld morgen’: “We wilden met ons team echt iets maken dat verder gaat dan enkel ruimtes vullen…

another unusual kapotski release . 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.

Kapotski teamed up with Ben Benaouisse to build a “human powered installation” inside an old chapel. Opa Malyn envited us to participate at their D.ART festival in Mechelen. Together, we made some kind of pop-up scenography with objects trouvées (lots of cardboard). Ben himself was not visible. Jonas & I were connected to him by walki-talki’s. Ben…

Gebruikers verklaren zich akkoord met een Creative Commons-licentie en bouwen zo mee aan een grote gezamenlijke databank met open (kunst)bestanden (beeld, klank, muziek, video,…

installatie/performance-reeks in de publieke ruimte: een hallucinante integratie van buurtbewoners, meubelontwerp, youtube en hotdogs. We realiseerden dit VJ-project als laureaat van de ‘kunst in de buurt ‘ wedstrijd van Stad Gent. Het doel was sociale cohesie te bewerkstelligen door mensen samen te brengen rond een hotdog kraam en te confonteren met beelden van zichzelf…
Kapotski participated at “The Game Is Up” festival at the Vooruit in Ghent and presented a limited serie of DIY optical tone generator kits.

The show starts with the construction of the ‘Thing’, with several men in grey coats deciphering complicated plans, measuring the space and marking out the lines. In this way, at the tempo of the average council worker, the ‘Thing’ gradually takes shape. The musicians arrive and set up their instruments, the technical staff take their…

Voor het Yo opera festival in Utrecht (NL), ontwikkelde kapotski ‘kabuski’. We bouwden een reguliere rijdende stadsbus van de GVU om tot instrument/geluidsomgeving. Ons doel was de openbare ruimte te transformeren tot een speelse omgeving en onverwachte sociale interactie te stimuleren. ” De bus is omgebouwd tot een rijdende muziekinstallatie, een Kabuski dus. In Kabuski mag en kan wat anders niet kan en mag: spelen en al…
The next step for me & my toy army. The Jesus Creation Control Centre invades Nuuk, Greenland. Again not much of a resistance here. Temperature dough was not so ideal; but we survived.

Within the etoiles polaires festival – and more particulary the project ‘Sonic Pictures’ – I worked on the next fase of the Jesus Creation Control Centre.

“The trio Jonas Nachtergaele, Ruben Nachtergaele, and Kurt Stockman, aka Kapotski have become quite infamous for (re)appropriating unexpected technologies and artefacts for the creation of music. Kapotski (derived from the Dutch word for broken ‘kapot’) have elevated hacked toys, reverse engineered junk, and the peep and squeak of pre-historic kitchen and household appliances to an art form:…
De embryonale fase van de Jesus Creation Control Centre. Het speelgoedleger is hier nog compleet in handen van Imperial Rubi.
