Tours as soloist and with various projects in Europe and the US. In 2000, David released critics claimed "the guitar" on swedish label Häpna and in 2006 "bow" on kning-disk. Has also worked as a musician in various dance-performances and theatre-plays. “Creating something different -- not to mention memorable -- with the world's most popular instrument, the guitar, often seems as unlikely as winning the national lottery. Yet young Swedish guitarist David Stackenäs has done so on this short, cunningly enigmatic disc.” Ken Waxman Jazz Weekly on solo-cd “the guitar”
