Steiger & Petros Klampanis ft. Kristjan Randalu & Ziv Ravitz

Latent Info – Petros Klampanis

With his project Latent Info, inspired and acclaimed bassist and composer Petros Klampanis treats us to music that transcends words. Through his minimalist approach, he gives subtle expression and nuances free rein, creating acoustic landscapes from which deep emotions arise.

The vast and open spaces he explores in the music and silences are clearly influenced by his childhood in Greece, with the sea as a backdrop. Klampanis has collaborated with world-renowned artists such as Greg Osby, Jacques Morelenbaum, Arooj Aftab, Anoushka Shankar, Snarky Puppy, Maria Farantouri and many others. Since 2011, he has released six albums as a band leader. As musical collaborator of Grammy-winning singer Arooj Aftab, he co-signed for the arrangements of her new album Night Rein.

Together with his faithful companions Kristjan Randalu and Ziv Ravitz, Klampanis creates sensuous, beautiful and incredibly poetic music that stirs the imagination and encourages introspection. Petros continues to push the limits of creative music, exploring new musical horizons with each new project.

Moglowski's First Take - Steiger

For about ten years now, Steiger has been one of the most idiosyncratic bands in the Belgian jazz and improv scene. Keyboardist Gilles Vandecaveye-Pinoy (Peenoise, PJDS, Uma Chine ...), bassist Kobe Boon (mòs Ensemble, The Milk Factory, Kreis, …) and drummer Simon Raman (Ivy Falls, Uma Chine, mòs Ensemble, …) have released three albums and an EP together, which received rave reviews from the press both nationally and internationally. In 2017, Steiger won the Young Jazz Talent competition at Gent Jazz and was artist-in-residence at venues including Kunstencentrum Vooruit, VOLTA and DeSingel.

After a few quiet years, during which the musicians focused on other projects, the trio reunites with great enthusiasm for a fourth full album, set to be released in October 2025. While their second full album revolved around space (Give Space, 2017), their next record (The New Lady Llama, 2021) and EP (Brick Smoke Basement, 2021) featured a symbiosis between electronic and acoustic influences. Their upcoming new album, Mowglowski’s First Take, brings together all their experiences and experiments freshly and organically.

The joy of playing and the desire to make music together are clearly audible on their new album. In collaboration with producer Frederik Segers (Stadt, Fulco, De Beren Gieren, Black Flower, …), they created a dynamic, quirky record that is highly accessible. The music radiates joy of life, with a good dose of humour, but also does not shy away from darkness — the sweet and controlled versus the wild and free.

Steiger embraces strong contrasts and takes the listener on a journey through their unique musical universe.

program change: We originally planned a double bill with Anneleen Boehme. Due to a calendar conflict, we are rescheduling her solo concert during Leuven Jazz 2026.
