Gaspar Claus

Gaspar Claus is a French cellist with purely musical academic background, who has developed a mastery of his instrument by working with musicians from different scenes including Sufjan Stevens, Bryce Dessner/the National, Jim O'Rourke, Matt Elliott/Third Eye Foundation or Casper Clausen/Efterklang. With InFiné, Gaspar first performed with his father, Pedro Soler, during the InFiné workshops in Poitiers in 2008. The label went on to release two albums by the duo ‘Barlande in 2011 and ‘Al Viento’ in 2016. He has also been credited on albums by Rone (Tohu Bohu, Creatures, Mirapolis…) and more recently Arandel (InBach 1&2). He also runs the label Festival Permanent, which reflects his encounters, stage collaborations and search for genre-defying compositions.
