Artist Portrait

Michael Bach

vc, *1958 DE
Musician / Composer of Classical

Cellist, composer and visual artist Michael Bach, also known as Michael Bach Bachtischa, was born in Worms, Germany, April 17, 1958. He made numerous significant contributions to the art of contemporary cello performance; his publication Fingerboards & Overtones proposes new ideas concerning overtones and harmonics. In 1990 he developed the Curved Bow (BACH.Bogen) for the cello, violin, and viola, which, in polyphonic playing, permits the simultaneous sounding of multiple strings, with the high arch of the bow allowing for full, sustained chords.
