Niels Jenster

Niels Jenster’s love for the vibraphone started on an early age.

Vibraphone

When I got impressed by the vibraphone at 12 years
age, my love for the vibe has only grown.
When I learned to play with 4 sticks,
I discovered the endless possibilities.

Music

'That is probably my goal......
To write music that stays beautiful over time.'

Open sound

By using vibraphone, instead of piano, or guitar, a completely different and more open ensemble sound is created.
