ABOUT MY WORK

I am a double and electric bass player based in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Here I collaborate with musicians with projects around Europe.

My focus is to initiate, develop and immerse myself in

projects which has improvisation as foundation.

I move mainly in jazz music and free improvisation, but

several projects alsoinvolve noise, ambient, folk and pop.

I am an active part of Gothenburg and Sweden's music scene where, in addition

to being a musician, I also work as an arranger and for the record company Havtorn Records.

Working in collaborative forms is something I value highly.

I try to take a sensitive, active and cooperative role in the projects I am part of.

For me, improvisation is a necessity in our society.

A place where we can meet; across borders, cultures, ages and language barriers.

A place where we can challenge each other together and create dialogue.

My will is to work to develop and create opportunities for these meetings.
