Releasing 07 July 2023 on Ruptured:
“Kaput” is the second music album by Lebanese cartoonist and musician Bernard Hage, also known as “The Art of Boo”. The work consists of a series of piano based tunes that chronicle the artist’s distress during the tumultuous crisis in Lebanon, from the early protests in October 2019 until his immigration to Berlin in June 2021.
Recorded and produced amid the chaos of political unrest, pandemic lockdowns, financial collapse, and the devastating Beirut port explosion, the sounds of the city and the artist’s personal struggles were channeled into the creation of this album.
Composed and performed by Bernard Hage and Anthony Sahyoun in Beirut, between November 2020 and April 2021.
With Akram Hajj on drums.
Sound design by Cedric Kayem. Mastered by Ziad Moukarzel.
Available as a digital album and art print with download code.
