“Creating something different -- not to mention memorable -- with the world's most popular instrument, the guitar, often seems as unlikely as winning the national lottery. Yet young Swedish guitarist David Stackenäs has done so on this short, cunningly enigmatic disc.”
Ken Waxman, Jazz Weekly on the guitar

Has, among others, played with:
Evan Parker, Barry Guy, Nikos Veliotis, Rhodri Davies, Mats Gustafsson, Wilbert deJoode, Paul Lovens, Axel Dörner, Sten Sandell, Raymond Strid, Ingar Zach, Xavier Charles, Thurston Moore, Mazen Kerbaj, Christine Sehnaoui, Michael Zerang, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Guillermo Gregorio, Joe Williamson, Johan Berthling, Ken Vandermark, Paal Nilssen-Love, Jim O’Rourke, Magnus Broo 

My experience through the academic studies at the Music Conservatory of Rome and my self-made approach led me to me developing a sound vision based on minimal elements.
The path made until now brings together issues, research methods and moods related to the contemporary and experimental music, keeping at the same time a strong connection with tonal language.
