Gaspar Claus is a cellist, composer, and sound explorer. The son of flamenco guitarist Pedro Soler, he grew up in a world where music flowed freely across genres and generations. Trained in cello from childhood, he quickly broke free from traditional constraints to transform it into an instrument of exploration, escape, and dialogue. He is credited with the original scores for several award-winning feature films—Makala, Le Fil—which have taken him to the Cannes Film Festival on multiple occasions.

His first solo album, Tancade (InFiné, 2021), acclaimed by critics and enthusiastically received by the public, establishes him as a unique voice, blending soundscapes, sensitive avant-garde, and raw emotion. His discography, comprising 19 releases, reflects a consistent penchant for collaboration: he has worked alongside Rone, Barbara Carlotti, Keiji Haino, and Clara Ysé, among many others. He is currently working on a new multisensory stage project, which will result in an album to be released by InFiné in the fall of 2026.

He is also the founder of the label Les Disques du Festival Permanent, a haven for unruly music and collective inventions.
