Seppe Gebruers (°9/05/1990) is a Belgian pianist, improviser and composer. The music scene is already acquainted with his name, due to his contributions to several adventurous projects such as the large ensemble Ifa y xango, the piano duo with Erik Vermeulen, Bambi Pang Pang featuring the legendary Andrew Cyrille, the duo Charlemagne Palestine, and the trio with the pioneer Paul Lovens and Hugo Antunes.
For the last 7 years, he decided to play two pianos tuned in quartertones so that he could explore and introduce microtonal music in improvisation. As a composer, he created music for films (such as Etangs Noirs and The Reconstruction) and theatre (Tibaldus).
Beside that, he is the co-founder and artistic leader of the improvisation collective called Troika vzw. Seppe Gebruers started his research at KASK with the title ‘Unexplored possibilities of contemporary improvisation and the influence of microtonality in the creation process’.
