Ryan Bruce Bravo, Bernard, Anthony, and Akram, not to forget Cedric who seemingly did an amazing job as well. Of course, I am to assume who made what choices, but everything on this record is brilliant. Thank you for persevering and putting this out. I am also sorry you have to be away from home. Ruptured Records releases are necessary items — physical or digital. A sincere thank you.

about

"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.

Working on the album started in 2020 as a solo project, with Bernard Hage composing the original melodies on his piano in the intimate setting of his apartment in Beirut. Along the way, he was joined by musician Anthony Sahyoun (Kinematik, Sanam) whose exceptional input on the music arrangement took the compositions to new heights.

Composed, 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.


"Kaput est une oeuvre insaisissable, miroir brisé d’expériences multiples, où les énergies s’enroulent et se déroulent pour exploser sur des tapis volants, planant au dessus d’existences brisées en mille morceaux et réparties sur des cahiers de notes aux pages jaunies. Un album profondément humain à la charnalité incarnée." – Silence & Sound, Jul. 2023
