Mattias De Vriendt - In the context of Festival GLOED, Lying-down concert

Roll out your mat and pull your blanket over you. Get ready to dream away for an hour during this lying-down concert by pianist Mattias Devriendt. A moment of rest, silence, and connection in a world full of meetings, WhatsApp messages, and InstaReelTikTokStories. Mattias Devriendt started playing the piano at nine and lives in Ghent. Since 2004, he has been playing in the band Monserey and since 2022 he has also been performing solo as a pianist. Geen Mozart, Beethoven of Schubert, but exclusively his own work. His main influences are Radiohead, Philip Glass, Nicolas Jaar, The Album Leaf, Nils Frahm, Keith Jarrett, and Jóhann Jóhannsson. In 2024, he released the last part of five EPs on the BRG Benelux label, titled: Simplicity, Contention, Equanimity, Opposition, and Addition. His first album As I Lay Down was released on vinyl.
