Thomas Niese

Thomas Niese is a double bassist whose performance appears on Tonart (CS170), an experimental recording issued by Creative Sources. The album documents an acoustic ensemble in which musical structure emerges through the interaction of different instruments.

The bass contributes deep resonance, melodic gestures and a broad range of textures produced through plucked and bowed strings. In improvised music it can operate independently of a conventional rhythmic or harmonic supporting role. Niese's appearance on the recording is confirmed by the album personnel, but independent biographical details about his broader career remain limited.
