Torsten Müller

Torsten Müller is a German-born double bassist and improviser whose musical life has connected European and North American creative-music communities. His performances investigate the acoustic bass through extended techniques, unconventional articulations and detailed attention to the instrument's natural resonance.

Creative Sources documents his double bass on recordings shaped by experimental approaches to form, texture and ensemble dialogue. His work places the physical characteristics of the instrument at the centre of musical invention.
