More on www.kirt.de www.myspace.com/kirtmusic Kirt was born in Frankfurt a.M., Germany and grew up bilingually in a multinational school. At the age of sixteen Kirt moved to a music specialized school near London. After completing A-Levels Kirt spent one year on a farm in Argentina in near isolation to refine his composition skills. Kirt moved back to England to study classical composition for 4 years at The Guitar Institute and Brunel University. Upon receiving a BA in music composition and the return to Germany, he began to work on the album “Cyan”. A second world war bunker, transformed into a state of the art studio, became Kirt´s headquarter for all production work, which included film music, German hip hop, electronic music, and the recording and mixing of “Cyan”. After 2 years of work on “Cyan”, Kirt returned to Argentina to complete the album. The artwork, promotion material and an alternative second mastering, were all produced in the city of Buenos Aires, where Kirt decided to begin the distribution and promotion of “Cyan” in Argentina. Kirt has toured across Argentina since, and is oscillating between New York, Frankfurt and Buenos Aires. In Argentina his band consists of Javier Bustos, Nicolás Ospina, Juan Huici and Alejandro Lopez. Kirt is currently working on a new album parts of which have been recorded in Buenos Aires and Toronto.
