Nestor Contardo
 
One visionary artist plus two instruments converge to create a unique musical expression. One composer united in one dream... His indefinable music transcends the merely physical perceptions of the senses. It is intangible and almost surreal. With a thousand melodies, performing in haunting harmony with the bass guitarist and the NS/STICK, with his ethereal and multidimensional sound, Nestor originates a dialogue in a new form, giving rise to lush melodies percussed by tapping, slapping, arpeggio, harping, and drumming. The instruments? Only with the electric bass guitar and the NS/STICK.

Nestor has been playing since he was only eight years old. He studied electric bass guitar, classic guitar, piano and drums in Venezuela. Nestor describes his musical style as trans-spiritual and "otherworldly". As a self-taught bassist and NS/STICK, he has developed compositions that defy definition.

Nestor's music is a natural development of his spirit, reflecting the passion and intensity of his soul. This is evidenced in the depth and complexity of the melodies that he channels through his electric bass guitar and the NS/STICK.

It is nothing short of enigmatic to experience the lavish sound of the magical strains that are somehow produced by only one man. His virtuosity is genuine and gentle, revealing layers of deep, artistic talent. Close your eyes and you will not believe that what you are hearing is only one bass guitar or only one NS/STICK; open your eyes and you will not believe how he does it.
