Julius Gabriel is a saxophonist whose work explores the boundaries and intricacies of his instrument. He delves into the dynamic interplay between corporeality, acoustics, transcendence, and hypnosis. With a musical practice deeply rooted in improvisation, he draws inspiration from a diverse range of genres including jazz, folk, classical, noise, minimalism, and ambient music. He has cultivated various branches of solo performance, as evidenced by his five solo albums. He crafts otherworldly soundscapes through electronic manipulation, transforms the saxophone into an electroacoustic percussion instrument, or immerses his acoustic improvisations within the spatial dimensions and resonances of each performance space.

Born and raised in East-Berlin, he began playing the saxophone at an early age in public music schools, later enriching his musical education in the vibrant underground club culture. He studied Jazz at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen, with additional coursework in the Institute for Computer Music and Electronic Media.
