schntzl is a Belgian contemporary jazz duo known for their minimalist compositions and a delicate fusion of electronic and acoustic sounds. Comprised of pianist Hendrik Lasure and drummer Casper Van De Velde, the pair have established themselves as a unique act within the European modern jazz scene. They met during their time at the conservatory and quickly realized a shared affinity for exploring the boundaries of genre and form.

Since forming in 2014, schntzl has steadily built a reputation for their introspective and atmospheric approach to music, often blending jazz improvisation with a more structured, classical sensibility. Their self-titled debut album 'schntzl' showcased their innate ability to create sonic stories with a subtle narrative force. Subsequent releases like 'Holiday', 'Silk', and 'thin boy' have further refined their sound, drawing praise for the way they capture and manipulate silence and space within their compositions. With tracks like 'Amsterdam!' and 'Merel', schntzl has continued to deliver a sound that is at once both expansive and intimate, cementing their standing as innovative artists in the jazz and electronic fusion landscape.
