Under a grazing light, Frise Lumière is a personal project by artist, musician and composer, Ludovic Gerst. By refining the instrumentation to only his bass, he is able to find and extract more rhythmic, harmonic and percussive melodies.

Frise Lumière began as a series of work sessions, collaborations, and experiments with dancers, artists, and textile designers before evolving into a fully solo project. Exploring and perfecting this rhythmic instrument, to the fullest extent possible before creating, his debut album, Bisou Genou, was released at the end of October 2021 and performed throughout Europe.

Ambo (October 2024) is the outcome of numerous interactions from the past and present, affirming and advancing the research of his prepared bass's acoustic possibilities. His use of broomsticks, mallets, and drumsticks enhances his rhythmic playing, whether he plays his instrument more conventionally or flat on his lap. A method that is already audible in a few of the tracks on his first LP.
