The Zelda Suite Project: The idea at the start of this project consists of taking historical (retro!) video game themes and giving them a jazz or even “free jazz" spin, following Ornette Coleman's "harmolodic" approach. Fascinated by the cleverness of these catchy electronic tunes that manage to stay in your head without getting old, Casimir is taking his ReTRio on an atypical journey of acoustic, constantly evolving, live jazz. His thoroughly contemporary interpretations of video game themes intertwine with his unique improvisational skills, flowing into a highly singular and versatile style of jazz.

Casimir Liberski
Casimir Liberski was born in Brussels in 1988. Committed to music at a very young age, he formed his first trio at the age of 13, starting a career as a pianist while still attending school. In 2004, he was awarded an Octave de la Musique while composing the original soundtrack for the feature film Bunker Paradise that same year. At 18, after obtaining a scholarship to attend the Berklee College of Music, he'll go on to follow the teachings of Ornette Coleman, resulting in an almost filial bond.
In 2010, while living in New York City, Casimir worked with various musicians (Charnett Moffett, Tyshawn Sorey, Nasheet Waits,...), releasing several records under his own name. In 2014, he signed the soundtrack for Tokyo Fiancée, and in 2016, he came in third at the solo piano competition of the Montreux Jazz Festival. In 2019 he released Cosmic Liberty following recording sessions in NYC with Matt Garstka and Louis de Mieulle. Casimir Liberski currently resides in Brussels where he regularly performs with his ReTRio as well as in solo and with his spouse Shoko Igarashi with whom they released an album with Tigersushi.
Janos Bruneel
Janos Bruneel (1983, Antwerp, Belgium) was born into a musical family and at age 6 he started to play the piano. When he was 15 he discovered the electric bass, which stimulated him to start playing jazz music and eventually the double bass at he age of 16. From then on, he studied at The Art Academy of Antwerp.
In 2001 he graduated cum laude and then followed an intense two-week-workshop in Cap Breton (France) with bass player Hein Van de Geyn. After this inspiring experience, Janos decided to continue his studies with Van de Geyn in the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, where he is now finishing his Master degree. Overthere, he also takes lessons from bass players Frans Van der Hoeven and Uli Glaszman. Meanwile Janos is finishing his Master degree in Brussels as well with Christophe Wallemme. Besides this, he had the opportunity to attend workshops with bass players Avishai Cohen, Furio di Castri, Philippe Aerts and Anders Jormin.
He won several awards with the Casimir Liberski Trio and was playing on numerous jazz festivals like Flageystival, Eu'Ritmix Festival and the Brussels Jazz Marathon.
Diogo Alexandre
Diogo Alexandre is already one of the best national drummers” as João Esteves Da Silva wrote in jazz.pt, 2019. Born in September 1998, he is especially known for his distinct, bold drumming style, having been awarded with various national prizes (Portugal) and gather the critics attention: Diogo Alexandre, has asserted himself to be a true force of nature, standing out wherever he is present (…) the drummer does not limit himself to keep time, he always delivers new ideas, underlines, pushes the group forward.” By Nuno Catarino in jazz.pt about HCP’s concert 2022/09/12
Recently released his debut record PIPE TREE by Diogo Alexandre Bock Ensemble which was considered one of the best Portuguese Jazz records of 2021 by Jazz.pt - "Pipe Tree is a rare record in the Portuguese jazz scene for being both different and ambitious, seeking - and succeeding - to trace its own path" - Gonçalo Falcão (2022, jazz.pt)
