Swedish alto saxophonist Marcus W\u00e4rnheim and Finnish double bass player Jonathan B\u00e4ckstr\u00f6m have been playing together as a duo since 2018. Through a long-lasting close collaborative process they are consequently pushing the limits of the intimate duo setting, exploring sound by embracing the spontaneous, pre-determined and arbitrary.<\/p>\n

Jonathan B\u00e4ckstr\u00f6m is a Finnish bassist, composer and improviser, currently based in Stockholm where he is finishing his master studies at the Royal College of Music. Over the past decade he has made his mark on the Northern European improvisation and jazz scene with his personal voice working in a variety of acoustic, electroacoustic and cross-disciplinary settings.<\/p>\n

Marcus W\u00e4rnheim is a Swedish alto saxophonist and improviser, currently based in Amsterdam. His artistic output is primarily based in a genuine curiosity of sound, which he works with through intense listening and a thorough research of the physical possibilities of his instrument.\u00a0 In recent years he has been preoccupied with acoustic solo performances, improvisational meetings, interpretation of other\u2019s compositions as a sideman, as well as trans-disciplinary collaborations with dancers and circus artists.<\/p>\n

Jonathan B\u00e4ckstr\u00f6m<\/strong>: double bass
\nMarcus W\u00e4rnheim<\/strong>: alto saxophone<\/p>\n

The duo will release their first album, recorded at various concerts, \u201cEtt\u201d on October 31. It will be available both as a cassette and as a downloadable version via their Bandcamp page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
