With World of Idols (Edit), Gaspar Claus opens a new chapter in his sonic exploration.
Conceived as a solemn and immersive piece, the track unfolds around a simple, repeated melody that gradually transforms into pure sonic texture, shifting from form into matter through continuous metamorphosis. Here, the cello is constantly transformed, electrified, and reshaped, merging with electronics in a fluid and organic sonic space.
A defining piece in Gaspar Claus’s recent work, World of Idols (Edit) embodies his ongoing exploration of sound as both texture and narrative.
Cellist, composer, and sonic explorer, Gaspar Claus continues to carve out a singular path between contemporary composition, experimentation, and raw emotion. Following the critical acclaim of Tancade and collaborations with artists such as Rone, Clara Ysé, and Barbara Carlotti, he confirms with this new release his place among the most adventurous voices in contemporary French music.
