Grgur Savic
Grgur Savic (Zagreb, Croatia *1983) is saxophonist and composer based in Berlin since 2015.
About Me
Grgur finished Music Academic Studies – classical and jazz at the University of performing arts in Graz and
Klagenfurt, Austria (class of Peter Straub and Gerald Preinfalk). In New York he took private lessons with revered
jazz greats such as saxophonists George Garzone and Andrew D’Angelo.
He is part of a broad, cross-breed Berlin improvisation, crossover & experimentation music scene. He is focused
across a wide range of sound research, visual compositional practices, electronics and traditional genre
to adhere to a commitment with pure improv making it exciting in trying to bridge the gap between composed
and improvised.
Since moving to Berlin in 2015, he actively performs and records his main projects:
PITCH SHIFTING, THE FORM, VORTEX FOUR, SPACE TIGERS BERLIN.
His primary groups as a leader are the Grgur Savic Pitch Shifting (together with Sanja Star + featuring guests),
Space Tigers Berlin (with Vanja Kevresan), Grgur Savic – Vortex Four (with Igor Lumpert, Matheus Jardim and
Ivar Krizic) and GS the Form, (music ensemble performing visual compositions and graphical scores feat. local
and international artists)
Highly interested in understanding the close relationship between various composed experimental musics in
relation to free improvisation, this year Grgur has released his debut album as a leader and composer with his
“The Form“ (with Quentin Tolimieri, Fyodor Stepanov, Chris Hill and guest Vedran Ruzic) with strong intension in
trying to bridge the gap between visualy composed and improvised.
