BIOGRAPHY

Jeroen Paul Thesseling began studying bass in 1988 at the Conservatory in Enschede,
the Netherlands. During the period 1992-1994 he collaborated with the Dutch death metal band PESTILENCE by recording the jazz/fusion-influenced album 'SPHERES' and touring Europe. In 1995 Jeroen started to study microtonality and developed a 72-tone equal temperament bass. A few years later he decided to concentrate primarily on playing fretless bass guitar. During the period 2003-2005 he has been touring with the flamenco ensemble of guitarist EL PERIQUIN. Since 2005 he participates in the recordings of ENSEMBLE SALAZHAR, a contemporary fusion/ world music project. In 2007 Jeroen joined the German progressive death metal band OBSCURA, with which he recorded their second full-length album 'COSMOGENESIS', released in 2009. Recently OBSCURA embarked on their first-ever North American tour alongside CANNIBAL CORPSE.
