Alexander Festivalhall

Possessed by a weakness for sentences and a passion for pop, Alexander M. can be found trying to connect the dots (so you don't have to) from Kaput's London office. Working under the name "Alexander's Festival Hall" (because everyone should have their own arts venue, right?) - he writes and produces elegant and unfashionable songs that would make lovely gifts for the perennially wistful or near broken-hearted.

The born north german (close to the city of Hamburg) found her way to photography via apprenticeships as photo laboratory and graphic designer.

Gundlach (whom she was able to photograph once) - but definitely found her own way. In the centre of her pictures you will always find the person of interest and the specific atmosphere of the moment.

Justus Köhncke

Justus Köhncke startet off as one third of the band Whirlpool Productions. Since 1999 until now he exists and works as a solo artist in the fields of production, performing and djing. His style is unique as he is settled between the pols Disco, House Music, Techno, Pop/" German Schlager" and sound experiments. In other words: a niche for himself. Most people do not know: long before getting unplanned in the career stream of an existence as a musician, Justus Köhncke started writing for spex magazine in 1986 as well as a city paper - for the young student a way to get free records, guest lists and a interview slot with Nico. When asked to write a column for Kaput, he was seduced by the term "Carte Blanche" as he thinks nothing is more boring as just writing about music.

One part vagabond, one part jack-of-all-trades-and-master-of-none, Marta Hrecznyj likes to go wherever ever the wind blows, and the music and art follow. Partially living in the same derelict neighborhood her Ukrainian family emigrated to, she finds beauty in the timeworn, bizarre, and happenstance. After years of one-off creative writing collaboration projects, she finds herself doing some of her own writing projects due to legitimate requests. Whether it’s volunteering as a host & hausmeister at a research residency in Detroit, doing production at brochure factories, working an Art Assistant in Brussels, or strapping down at corporate contract jobs in Battle Creek, Michigan, she celebrates the unexpected and is happy to see where things go next.
