LE DÉPEUPLEUR
“ZKT”

“Le dépeupleur is the electronic project of Zbigniew Karkowski and Kasper T Toeplitz. Both musicians use computers, and create electronic sounds – no samples, no “found” sounds – it’s all “pure” electronic. Even if their names can (also) be found in the “noise” circles – they did collaborate with musicians such as Merzbow, Tetsuo Furudate, CCCC or Francisco Lopez, to name a few – they are both composers having done, and still doing fully written down pieces for orchestras, ensembles etc
If there have to be some reference to the work of Le dépeupleur, it only could be Xenakis
“ZKT” is a long, one-hour piece structured in two parts – it ending being an eternal resonance. Re-read Beckett.”
