Pascal Niggenkemper 

bassist - composer 

Described by the New York City Jazz Records as "one of the most adventurous bassists on the scene” and by the Chicago Reader “genius for sound exploration” Franco-German bassist and composer Pascal Niggenkemper creates music bluring the lines between improvised, pure sound, and experimental music with a distinct musical language.

Je me suis laissé surprendre, et parfois même emporter, par le quartet de Pascal Niggenkemper, l’oreille suspendue entre circonspection, doute et fascination.

Swirling wild sea spray: dancing through it, dancing in its roaring inside

What Pascal Niggenkemper presented, had an extended quality, which is not so often seen. He obviously has a slope after it, a penchant for it and the necessary talent for its realisation.  © Henning Bolte jazzhalo

Le propos est éclaté entre les instrumentistes, la contrebasse préparée et augmentée de cloches, les reprises du sax dans les pads du clavier, les sonorités bruitistes et triturées… Mais tout forme une machinerie fumante et cohérente. C’est libre, plein de techniques étendues, d’électronique et de générosité.

This visionary and highly impactful finale set the seal on a fascinating edition of the Berlin Jazzdor festival.
