M. Bryo & The Thepaphone - Matthias Schuster

For the second time OJC Kompas organizes, in collaboration with Cordialement-Wave, a minimal synth night.

M.Bryo is the soloproject of Mark Burghgraeve, of whom in May 2007 a split 7" was released on the American Minimal Wave label with another project of him on the b-side: Somnambulist.
M.Bryo and Somnambulist are bands from the early 80’s.
Somnambulist released 2 cassettes on the famous Central Tapes cassettelabel ("Withered Land" and "A Kite of Glass") and songs on different compilations, e.g. on "Art & Dance 3" on the German Gothic Arts Records label and on the compilation cd "Rape the City" on KK records.
M.Bryo released the cassette "Homo Fabre", 2 songs on the cassette compilation "Evergreens Compilation" ("Shift" and "Shrinking Rooms") on Central Tapes, 1 song on the compilation lp "No Big Business 2" ("The Empty Street") and 1 song on the compilation cd "Rape the City" on KK records ("Wrong House").
Cordialement-Wave will release the songs "Shift" and "Shrinking Rooms" from M.Bryo on a compilation lp together with other songs from other Belgian bands from that period (Ratbau, Asmodaeus, Schicksal, Vita Noctis, etc.).

Matthias Schuster is one of the founders of the “Neue Deutsche Welle” and is active since the end of the 70’s.
We know him from projects like “Im Namen Des Volkes”, “Bal Paré” and “Geisterfahrer”, nowadays he also plays under the name “Das Institut”.
Select discography: 7" "Ich war da, leergebrannt" from 1980 on Konnekschen records, lp "Atemlos" from 1981 on Konkurrenz records, 12" "Ritual" from 1981 on Konkurrenz records, compilation cd "Atemlos" from 2004 on the German NLW label, 7" "Im Namen Des Volkes" from 2006 also on the German NLW label.

It has been more than 20 years that M.Bryo didn’t perform so you better be present to see a living minimal legend live on stage!

Doors open at 20 hours.

Entrance: 12 euro.
