DAN MÖGLICH RASMUSSEN
WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE!
With more than 30 years of experience as a professional musician, I work as a freelance session bass player, as well as a bandleader, musical director (MD), educator, producer, mix engineer, musical teambuilder, and overall music entrepreneur.
Based in Denmark, I have worked as a sideman for a wide range of Danish and international artists, contributing to hundreds of recordings and TV broadcasts, as well as thousands of concerts.
Stylistically, I have a broad foundation and have worked in countless musical settings, ranging all the way from small duo constellations to large symphony orchestras and choirs.

ALBUMS / STUDIOWORK:
I have played bass on a lot of recordings, well over a hundred, and have also worked as a producer on some, as well as contributed backing vocals on a few.
I’d be happy to play on your next recording! This can, for example, take place in my own studio - quick and easy.
Below you’ll find a selection of covers from some of the releases I’ve contributed to.
These are some of my favorite basses.
For more than 10 years now, my daily workhorse has been the Maruszczyk Elwood L5, but occasionally I do play other basses.

Bass Doctor – Let me take a look (and listen) at your playing and your gear.
Band Doctor – Sometimes it’s good to get a “check-up.” This can take place in your rehearsal space or at a live show.
Business Consultant – Many companies have realized that artistic competencies can add new dimensions to product and staff development, as well as contribute to innovation.
For 10 years (2003-2013), I had the great pleasure of teaching the executive management team at ALKA Insurance weekly group sessions in rhythmic ensemble playing - musical teambuilding, or what we called “Executive Rock” (Direktør-rock in Danish). The participants had no prior experience playing instruments, but quickly developed into a real band.
This project was featured in news programs on national danish TV, as well as in newspapers and magazines:
After ALKA, I've done similar programs with COOP’s executive team and conducted workshops for other well-known danish companies.
