Interview with RDKPL (2026)

 

Sound recordings by Czech noisemaker since 1994.

Today we did a written interview to RDKPL, experimental noise artist from Czech.






- What is the meaning and the concept behind the name of your music project?

RDKPL - solo experimental music project by Radek Kopel based in the Czech republic. I do one take improvisations within border of noisounds.




- What equipment do you use for create music?

All created on various electronics, pedal effects, DIY metallic percussion units and DIY gear.



- Tell us a little biography about your project, when you started to make music? 

I was a member of Napalmed band in 1994-2014, member of Eine Stunde Merzbauten group in 2014 to 2024. Beside these two I recorded and perform alot also solo.



- Who are your main music and artistic influences? 

Not who, better say what. Art at all, from music to photography to books to paintings. Another unwanted influence is life itself.  




- What underground artists from the netlabel scene do you like?

I like to look for new artists, new sounds. Mostly hearable on strange compilations.



- Do you have some influence from your country in your music?

Yeah, Czech music for sure! Here are few to be named: Buty, Meat House Chicago I.R.A., Iva Bittová, Květy, Jan Spálený, C&K Vocal, Jiří Smrž, DG 307, and so on and on....



 - What is your favorite album/ep composed by you? And why?

No extra one to be picked up. At first I do various productions, also sound varied alot at second. 



- What are your preferred music platforms/websites? Why?

I mainly use BandCamp. Easy, fast and simple to use.


- Any funny anecdote in the composition of a track or an album?

The only silly, black, cheap humor including in my album titles. 






- Do you play live? How was the experience?

Not many possibilities to perform live, but I like it alot. 
Main difference from home studio is power and loudness of final sound.


- Any news for 2026?

Try to stay active, communicate with worldwide artists, do experiments with sound.


- Do you want to say anything else to your listeners?

Again I want send A BIG THANX to ALL fans, followers and anonymous listeners for spending their time on my recordings!

Sábila, also thank you for activity and support!!

-What is the meaning and concept behind the name of your music project?

Xm0rtal is named for the concept of going beyond life and into the future, it is a message  to living after I am gone.




-what equipment do you use to create music?

I use a MacBook Pro and Ableton live mostly, I play an Arturia 88 key keyboard for the leads and many of the riffs and I have a lot of analog gear but only some of it makes it’s way into the songs I create.

-Biography

I began making music in 1993 in high school, and joined a few rock bands from then to 1997-98. I listened to Throbbing Gristle and decided I didn’t need to make music the regular way and started recording myself playing what synths I had and drum machines. I went through many DAWS and programs until I settled on Abelton around 2010. I have been putting out music from 1999 till now and in the last year I have joined a rock band and played several shows with them which has expanded my palette and given me more tools to express my self.  


-Influences

I am influenced by many bands, Bowie, Bauhaus, The Beatles, Throbbing Gristle, The Velvet Underground, Blvck Ceiling, Skinny Puppy and Brian Eno.


-Underground net label bands

I like Barbeleth, on Lux Aura label, also Radio Vril (aka ▼HRIL Y▲) and many bands that are my friends. I have so many friends in the Witch House scene I lose track.

-local influence

Yes I incorporate many Texas styles, especially Houston trap sounds, Texas Funk in my Organ playing live and I collaborate with other Texas acts and play live shows in Austin with my rock band which performs many songs in Spanish . I also work with local rappers on beats.


https://xmortal.bandcamp.com/album/beach

-favorite EP composed by you?

My favorite is probably my Nudist Beach EP but I also really enjoy my Dungeon synth tracks and Witch House records, I have made so many over the years it is hard to choose!


XMORTAL

-preferred platforms

Soundcloud, Bandcamp, YouTube and then live performance.


- Do you Play live?

I play live in a rock band, Fuzz Goblin, and I will play live as a solo act too in the future. I was worried about so anything’s but moving the gear is the hardest part!


- news for 2026?

I have many, many songs completed that are unreleased and I’m trying to get some funding from my city to make art. I am playing live keys and able to do things I wasn’t able to do just last year, and I am comfortable playing live now so look out for a few shows and maybe even merch and other cool things!



-message to the fans

I try to be accessible to you all and interact and I am very open to chatting with any fans of my music, I really appreciate my supporters!
