Camille-Alban Spreng

Camille-Alban Spreng is a pianist, composer and curator living in Brussels and trained by Kris Defoort. He is active in such varied fields as jazz, improvised and electronic music, art performance, theater.

He is a multifaceted musician: influenced by all sorts of styles, ranging from niche aesthetics (Oren Ambarchi, Jim O'Rourke, Deerhoof, Building instruments) to more popular colors (The Bad Plus, ADHD, Sufjan Stevens, Bill Frisell). Both his compositions and arrangements are rooted in a deep sense of storytelling and lyricism. The result is organic yet rich and nuanced music that explores a wide range of emotional states, often with an underlying nostalgic undertone.

Together with his longtime band ODIL, he released three albums (Something, QFTF, 2016 / RESON, feat. Leïla Martial, and Valentin Ceccaldi, QFTF, 2019 / Unheimlich, feat. Nina Kortekaas, WERF,, 2023).
He’s also currently playing and composing for post-rock band Limite, and quintet Mobilhome alongside top Belgian players Vitja Pauwels, Sam Comerford, Théo Lanau and Lennart Heyndels.
He also released two albums with his trio Dear Uncle Lennie on Yolk Records (2022) and BMC Records (2025) guest starring Joachim Badenhorst. the band features Benjamin Sauzereau on guitar and Marco Giongrandi on banjo.
As a side musician, Camille-Alban is currently collaborating with An Pierlé’s Firestarter, and with alejandra borzyk’s band bodies.
