After completing the Ljubljana Music and Ballet Conservatory double bassist and composer Gašper Livk earned his Bachelor’s and Master's degrees from the Ljubljana Academy of Music. Currently based in Amsterdam, Livk is pursuing further studies in composition and performance within the framework of the Inštitut .abeceda educational programs. Previously featured as part of the Mladi Raziskovalci series, this festival edition sheds light on his artistic vision, channelled into a set of as many as five albums titled Introducing Gašper Livk and produced under the Portuguese label Clean Feed Records. His JFL residency brings three concerts, providing insight into the artistic practice of his ensembles in different line-ups: double bass and electronics solo concert, a duo with Belgian pianist Seppe Gebruers, as well as a trio with Korean pianist Chaerin Im and Italian drummer Giovanni Iacovella. The five albums, whose release is to coincide with the Jazz Festival Ljubljana dates, also include a double bass octet and a large ensemble.
Belgian pianist Seppe Gebruers accompanies Livk as he documents the specifics of his private life. The duo employs sonic discourse as a vehicle for expressing the virtuosity of thought and spirit.
