Antti Virtaranta
Antti Virtaranta is a Finnish double bassist active in experimental and freely improvised music. His approach places the double bass in settings where gesture, bowing, plucking, surface sounds and resonance interact with other instrumental and vocal materials.
He has recorded in improvised configurations with Japanese pianist and violist Rieko Okuda and vocalist and object player Girilal Baars. Their ensemble works balance acoustic instrumental dialogue with extended voice and unusual objects, emphasizing the range of textures available in a small group.
