About Kurt
My name is Kurt. I’m a music and travel writer.
I’m part poetic punter, cultural cartographer, and compulsive curator of moments where music, memory, and meaning intersect — often while on the move.
Based in London (by way of Cape Town), I write about sound, place, and the stories that unfold between them — from gig reviews and travel essays to personal reflections, podcasts, and the occasional webcomic about a cat named Falafel.
My work spans festival field reports, album dissections, musical pilgrimages, artist interviews, and vivid vignettes from adventures across countries, islands, and cities. You’ll usually find me front row to the action, or cataloguing the chaos and creativity from close by.
Writing is how I process the world, one reverberation or trail at a time.
