Das Moabiter Duo

 
Das Moabiter Duo is a music project founded by Sven-Åke Johansson and Thomas Kapielski in Berlin during the 1980s.
Sven-Åke Johansson (born 1943 in Mariestad, Sweden) is one of the style-defining drummers of the German free jazz era of the 1960s and 1970s. From the 1980s onwards, he pursued an artistic path largely independent of institutions and groups as a music performer in the circles of fine arts and new music. Among other things, more than fifty record releases, a number of music theatre pieces, radio plays, pictorial works and a lively touring life are among his oeuvre.
Thomas Kapielski (born 1951 in Berlin, where he lives and works) is perhaps better known as an author, with publications at Merve, Suhrkamp etc., certainly also as an artist. But since the 1980s he has also been active as a musician. He released records with Frieder Butzmann, among others.
