Bio:
Adam’s bass playing can be heard in several projects spanning the Barefoot artists Trio CrEePy, The Mighty Mouse, Maria Faust Group and Melbye/Berre/Brötzmann as well as Jesper Zeuthen 3, Angel and in duo constellation with Swedish reed player Sture Ericson.
His playing is characterized by a sonic diversity that utilizes the many possible ways of making the double bass whisper and scream by using hands, bows, sticks, combs, brushes and whatnot. His tone is dark and percussive, favoring a setup that calls for a quite physical approach to playing.
