Martina Berther (* 1984 in Chur), based in Zurich, is a Swiss bass player and composer. Her sound spectrum ranges from pop to experimental music. She tours internationally both solo and with her bands Ester Poly and AUL and with the singer Sophie Hunger. She also writes music for films, theatre and installations and works as a curator.
Martina’s solo project is a powerful smorgasbord of sounds, freely improvised on the electric bass. Bowed, plucked, and fed through chains of strange objects and machines; Martina Berther evokes delicate melodies and dense soundscapes, using the bass as her only sound source.
