Kristof Hahn
German musician, songwriter and translator, born in 1959.
Moving to Berlin in 1980, he scored a job at Germany’s first punk record store, Zensor, while studying political science. Becoming involved in the music scene, he founded and collaborated in several bands until becoming a member of Swans (1989–92), Angels Of Light from 1998, then Swans again (2010 - present). He is now a member of Pere Ubu and works as a solo artist (and book translator), as well as leading his band Sultans Of Gedankenbrain.
He has a long running recording project with Olaf Kraemer with various names related to vampires. The latest incarnation, in 2023, is called Golden Vampire Experience.
