Johannes Nästesjö

Johannes Nästesjö is a Swedish double bassist and improviser whose work appears on Ginkgo (CS347), released by Creative Sources. The recording documents acoustic bass within an experimental ensemble, where the instrument participates in open, collectively shaped musical development.

The double bass offers a flexible range of pizzicato, bowing, harmonics and percussive string sounds that can support or contradict other instrumental voices. Nästesjö's work on the album contributes to the changing relationships between rhythm, melody and texture. Further independent biographical information about his studies, other projects and current activity has not yet been securely established.
