about
Otto Willberg plays various bass instruments and lives in London, United Kingdom. Live, Willberg performs unashamedly melodic improvisational workouts created almost entirely with heavily filtered bass harmonica and electric bass. Strangely abstracted funk and fusion, a blend of the abstruse and immediate, silky smooth, luxurious, odd and compelling, "like listening to Eberhard Weber through a drainpipe”. Willberg is often heard on acoustic and electric bass with Laurie Tompkins (Yes Indeed) and Charles Hayward (Abstract Concrete, This Heat), as well as the fractured no wave unit Historically Fucked. His previous solo releases have ranged from extended technique double bass to explorations of the acoustics of a 19th century artillery fort. He has a solo record called The Leisure Principle out on Oren Ambarchi's the Black Truffle label. http://www.ottowillberg.com User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
