David Stackenäs (b. 1974)

With his acoustic sound and his percussive energy Stackenäs clearly is
Swedens most interesting guitarplayer nowadays. Stackenäs was in 1999 and
2001 on tour with swedish reedist Mats Gustafssons´ «NU-ensemble»
(with Günther Christmann, Carlos Zingaro among others) In october 2000
he did a week of concerts in Ystad, Sweden with the members of Sonic Youth,
Loren Mazzacane Connors and Jim O´Rourke. David Stackenäs has released
the critics´ claimed solo record «the guitar» on Swedish record
label Häpna.

Some of Mats Gustafssons words about Stackenäs: "..his wide open way
of listening to others is worth checking out for anyone interested in creative
music.« »The new generation of players in Pippi Longstocking-country
is having a great impact on the scene in Scandinavia right now and projects
(quite a few including young Mr. Stackenäs) have already spread to the
rest of Europe and North America."
