Bio:

David Spischak, bassist and musicologist based in Budapest, Hungary.

From 2000 he studied musicology at the Department of Musicology at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität in Erlangen, then continued his studies in the Musicology Department of the University of Trondheim (NTNU) in Norway, where he focused primarily on developing his performing skills on electric bass and double bass. He passed his Master of Arts exam in 2005.

He returned to Budapest in 2006, where he has been an active contributor to bands playing and forming in various musical genres ever since. After ten years, he returned to studying, graduating with an MA degree in music performance and theory from the Jan Albrecht Academy of Music in Banska Stiavnica.

David Spischak can be heard in many diferent formations, foremost his own jazz group, the David Spischak Quartet, but he is active not only as an performing artist, but also as a musicologist. Within the framework of the scholarship program of the Hungarian Academy of Arts, he creates the Karl Trautsch Complete Edition, which will present the life and works of Karl Trautsch, Hungary's first double bass teacher.
