Swiss musician and actor Thomas Kuratli’s electronic music project with layers deep enough to pull listeners in.

Following his graduation from the Zurich Film Academy, he immediately moved from Switzerland to Paris. Pyrit’s beginnings go back to a small apartment on the basement floor. “Desires, questions and anxiety” are the words Thomas Kuratli uses to describe his music. “Cosmic desert music” is how he chooses to define it when a single definition is required. Even though his first album Ufo, released in 2015, leans towards electronica, it was heavily influenced by the mechanical nature of krautrock. This extremely personal album was designed as the soundtrack of an imaginary movie. Last year, we witnessed Pyrit’s story mature and deepen. While the first album Ufo was the representation of the mechanisation of a human being, in the second album, Control, we are trapped in the machine. The ghosts of David Lynch, Portishead and The Haxan Cloak inhabit Control. It is a recording with extremely high emotional intelligence that also happens to be exceedingly chaotic. Meanwhile, Kuratli’s acting career is advancing in proportion to his musical career. You can see Pyrit playing the DJ on the episode Desperate Times in award-winning series Killing Eve produced by the celebrated Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

A night in Pyrit’s electronic world, that is as attractive as it is dark, where the pull of gravity will surely decrease.

This event has an age restriction of 18.
