Ten years ago, after his graduation in Film from the Zurich University of the Arts, Thomas Kuratli moved from Zurich to Paris, laying the foundation for his musical alter ego, Pyrit. In 2015, he released his debut solo album “UFO“ on Bookmaker Records (FR), which was later reissued by Robotic Empire (US) in 2017. His second album “Control“ followed in 2018 and received widespread attention, particularly for his single “Another Story.“
Pyrit's performances stretched across various countries in Europe, as well as Tunisia and Turkey, including a significant presence as the support act for The Soft Moon during their European tour in 2022.
Thomas Kuratli composed soundtracks for films such as “Ashkal“ by Youssef Chebbi, “Blue My Mind“ by Lisa Brühlmann, “Preparations for a Miracle“ by Tobias Nölle and “Where We Belong“ by Jacqueline Zünd. His work also extended to theater, installations, and exhibitions. Pyrit's tracks found their place in various series and films, including “Visions“ by Yann Gozlan and “De Grâce“ by Vincent Maël Cardona. He also made a cameo appearance in Season 2 of BBC's “Killing Eve“, performing in a nightclub scene. His music has also been featured on compilations, notabely on Trentemøller's “Harbour Boat Trips Vol. 02“.
With each composition, Pyrit weaves a narrative that goes beyond the typical songwriting, inviting us into a world where the boundaries between music, film, and art dissolve, taking us on an immersive, intense, and intimate journey.
Pyrit’s new Album “T†tz“ will be released on April 10th, 2024
