Maschin Kaput

машин капут

Experimental improvisational music from Hamburg since 2018

The experimental improvisational music of maschin kaput oscillates freely between the broken, belling rhythms of a desolate steel-mill and the nearly indiscernible echo an under-oiled shopping cart bounces off the urban facades at night. A sonic therapy for the aesthetically tortured soul of the modern urban dweller.

A drum kit assembled from found items and scrap metal, abused instruments running into self built electronics, uncontrolled anger in the voice and an exorbitant network of synthesizers. In short: Wild sounds in interaction.
