"Sensational Slovenian composer and double-bassist Gašper Livk is the richly deserving subject of an audacious five-album anthology, released by Clean Feed to coincide with a much-anticipated artist-in-residence appearance at this year's Jazz Festival Ljubljana.
Recorded between 2022-2024, Introducing Gašper Livk harnesses this extraordinary musician's remarkable breadth of vision and interminable chops, showcasing his disparate works for solo, duo and trio configurations, as well as a remarkable piano-loaded large ensemble and double-bass octet.
Each album here presents another compelling aspect of Livk's already abundant and singular oeuvre, revealing ancillary layers of meaning and mood via exquisite forms palpitating with thought and spirit, articulating vividly textured traceries where immediate surface complexities reward further listening with a surfeit of fearless delights, boundless atmospheres and immersive labyrinthine narratives.
Introducing Gašper Livk represents a truly significant inauguration, presenting the profuse music of its inspired architect via physical format for the very first time, a sensitively-curated boxed set giving full disclosure of a prodigious talent whose emergence on the scene will have valuable repercussions for many decades to come."-Clean Feed
Artist Biographies
• Show Bio for Seppe Gebruers "Seppe Gebruers (°9/05/1990) is a Belgian pianist, improviser and composer. The improv music scene is already acquainted with his name, due to his delivered work in several adventurous projects like the large ensemble 'Ifa y xango', the piano duo with Erik Vermeulen, named 'Antiduo, Bambi Pang Pang featuring the legendary Andrew Cyrille, his Solo and the trio with the pioneer Paul Lovens and Hugo Antunes (Seppe, Hugo and Paul). His approach is far from traditional. Last years he decided to play two pianos tuned in quarter-tones. In this way he can explore microtonal music and confront the tuning in western world music orthodoxy. It will be first heard on a recording to be released (2018) with the trio Seppe, Hugo and Paul. Seppe is also doing electronic live-processing with projects like Keenroh featuring Paul Lytton, Glin Fraktion and Ifa y Xango Tentet. He is also playing church organ in a duo with Joachim Badenhorst. Besides that Gebruers plays the piano in a improv trio with trumpeter Luis Vicente (Pt) and drummer Onno Govaert (NL). In 2013, he graduated - Summa cum laude - from Antwerp conservatory, where he enjoyed a jazz education (with a.o. Erik Vermeulen as his teacher), as well as a classical schooling (tutored by a.o.
