"Pantha du Prince’s catalog plays like a time-lapse of techno being reclaimed by nature”
Since 2012, german producer Hendrik Weber aka Pantha Du Prince has dedicated himself to a comprehensive project which is now reaching a tentative artistic peak on his latest album Garden Gaia. Pursuing the exploration of humans as nature, his music raises consciousness and describes the reality of life and the lost paradise. Bringing aesthetics and ecology together with a consistent vocabulary of electroacoustic expression, the composer stands as an observer watching his garden grow as electronic rhythms and textures blossom in an organic flow. This ten-year tryptic, initiated by Elements Of Light and completed by Conference Of Trees, results in the extremely collaborative Garden Gaia. Developing mindful observation and listening skills, Pantha Du Prince created every track in a different place, with different musicians, yet the album remains incredibly homogenous.

MACGRAY
Brussels-based musician Macgray creates a musical landscape full of analog synths, pianos, strings, voices and field recordings. The producer and pianist studied classical music (academy) and jazz (Jazz Studio in Antwerp) and has been a musician for years in many collective projects, including a rock band (TOTM), an electronic music ensemble (Bétøn) and for Mathieu Thonon.
Macgray started his first solo project in 2019, ranging from ambient, to film music and Electronica. His debut album Journey to the Dawn released in early 2020 was nominated for the Octave de la Musique in 2021 (Electronic Music category). He has performed on many stages in Belgium, including notable performances at Fuse and at Botanique. Macgray combines live electronic music with projections created by visual artists. He invites musicians both on his albums and on stage, notably Hélène Van Loo (Concert Flute), Charles Bernard (Vocals, Drums) and Evelyne Esterzon (Vocals).
