Rhea (BE)
Mark de Wit (1961) bought his first synthesizer in 1979. He was member of dark space formation Purfoze, with which he also performed several times in the Brussels Planetarium.
In the new century he started playing solo under the name Rhea. Called after the Roman goddess and a moon of Saturn.
In 2013 Mark started the Cosmic Nights Festivals at different attractive locations in Belgium with the participation of several Belgian and International artists. With Johan Geens he was co-founder of B-Wave.
With his 5th performance at the Brussels Planetarium, Rhea presents his double CD "Soon", as well as the limited edition LP "Synthober Waze".

Synquentium (NL)
Dutchman Peter Dekker (1973) remembers to have music in his head constantly since he was a four-years old boy. Currently, Peter owns around 70 electronic music instruments, with which he composed and recorded an uncountable amount of music.
Sometimes he spends days or weeks on real compositions, but for his Däcker projects, Peter prefers to create music in the most direct and spontaneous way: just sit and play.
He tries to reflect his widely oriented musical taste and interests into his compositions, especially those styles you wouldn’t associate with electronica in the first place, like rock, jazz and latin. Main inspirators include Vangelis, Nova / Peru, Jean Michel Jarre, Neuronium, Ed Starink and Jun Fukamachi.
Although Peter has been releasing music independently since the early 90s, Däcker’s first official CD album “Pareidolia” was released on Deserted Island Music in 2020.
His ambient side-project "Immersion in Total Emptiness", as his alter-ego Synquentium, is a rather personal piece of ambient music, taking you through time and space, fully improvised using a Roland XP-60 synthesizer only, perfectly fitting the ambience of the Brussels Planetarium.

Planet of the Arps (NL)
Remy Stroomer (1979) made his first compositions at the age of nine. Klaus Schulze (especially his period of the late 80s / early 90s) is frequently mentioned in comparison to his early musical style.
In 1999, Remy starts studying sonology at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. In the same year, his first album “Exhibition of Dreams” sees the light.
Since his debut, Remy released several albums, did international performances, collaborated with a large number of artists, organized events, and started his Deserted Island Music record label in 2011.
The Planet of the Arps ambient side-project (which refers to 'arpeggio', Halton Arp, Alan R,. Pearlman, and the Planet of the Apes franchise) evolved from the first studio version in 2010, to performances at the Zeiss Planetarium Bochum (2012) and the Ruins of Brederode (2014), and finally saw its CD release in 2019. Now, six years later, "Planet of the Arps 2" is being presented at the Brussels Planetarium.
