Hybryds (& Rabbits Wear Boots)

Sandy Victor Nys (Magthea), founder of Belgian electronic/ritual music project Hybryds, discusses four decades of experimental music spanning from 1983 cassette culture through present. Beginning with a Radio Centraal program and independent cassette label in the early 1980s, Hybryds emerged in 1986 with *Mythical Music For The 21st Century*, blending ethnic sounds with electronic music. The band has performed at major European festivals including Wave-Gotik-Treffen in Leipzig (1998, early 2000s) and recently Castle Party in Poland via Zoharum label. A lineup featuring vocalist Madeline in Dresden and Katharina shapes current output. Nys, now retired from day work, notes that loss of management ended regular Leipzig appearances. The interview spans career breaks, touring logistics across 800+ kilometres, and preparation methods. A concurrent solo project, Rabbits Wear Boots, will perform at a Dark Entries free concert in Ghent on 26 September, expected to generate controversy.
