Macgray

Biographie

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).

Brussels-based producer Macgray returns with a second captivating album Collapse, to be released on 13 April 2023.



Collapse tells the story of living species (human, animal, or extra-terrestrial), civilizations, planets, and the universe... the path from creation to nothingness, how the small and big elements of the universe all exist through birth and death.

The album includes two main parts of four tracks and a pivotal song in the middle. The first part evokes the birth with Origins, the apogee of the nature with Forest and the great discoveries with Neon. The fifth track hints at the second part, chaos and destruction rush into the Breach. Futile resistance and useless denial through Uprising and Backbone do not allow the escape from the inevitable Collapse.

Collapse is Macgray's most complete work to date. Between warm, organic sounds and colder, more dramatic themes, this album presents a captivating blend of acoustic instruments and synthesizers with a symphonic dimension.
