  • On the release of her first solo album, Nina de Heney plays the double-bass as an extended body. Those who have heard her perform live know that the art of her improvisation has a deep empathetic quality as well as she explores the possibilities of the instrument with unpredictable carefreeness. Her music can sound soft and billowing, evolving into a faster tempo; she chisels the strings, drums with her fingers, rattles percussives effects, bows new sound-scapes. Impressive, all the way.
