X.U.L is a project by Gašper Selko. Through the music he creates, we can perceive and hear sound patterns, elements and textures, ranging from contemporary classical music all the way to improvised electronic music. In the melodies and notes that at times remain in time and space, an eclectic musical expression develops, builds and collapses. X.U.L in its atmosphere and many repetitive patterns poses more questions and some answers to every listener who dares to indulge in his musical idea. With the release of his first album VOID – A Story about a Man (2019) and second – A Guide for Lost Travellers two years later, he had also begun a collaboration with the Icelandic musician and producer Frosti Jonsson. Their collaborative effort led to the release of Tengsl (2022) with its ethereal, hypnotizing vibe thanks to the repetitive minimalistic patterns and offers us a sonically soothing experience.
“I am here to share my music, my feelings…my life. And my language is music. So there is no end, just growth…” – says Gasper Selko. So everybody is invited to dive deep into his music…
