Ernst Reijseger

Ernst Reijseger is a Dutch cellist and composer, born in 1954, who has long been active in European improvised music. He moves between free jazz, contemporary composition and projects with traditional musicians, and he often performs alone. He is also known for his scores for Werner Herzog's films, including The Wild Blue Yonder, The White Diamond and Cave of Forgotten Dreams. Reijseger played in Misha Mengelberg's ICP Orchestra and the Arcado String Trio, worked with Derek Bailey, Steve Lacy and Trilok Gurtu, and formed the Clusone Trio with saxophonist Michael Moore and drummer Han Bennink.
