This group has meanwhile released 6 CDs already: Michael Moore on alt sax and clarinet, Sven Schuster on Double bass and Marcos Baggiani on drums. On the last two CDs Nothing changes (2008) and Alienology (2010) by Trytone Records Gorka Benitez joins the band with tenor sax.

In october 2011 the band expanded the line up to a sextet for the tour in Holland. The quartet teamed up with tenorist Ellery Eskelin and pianist Sylvie Courvoisier.

In 2012 the band has taken a new form and will be working in quartet with some wonderful young musicians: Joachim Badenhorst on tenor sax, clarinet and bass clarinet and with Clemens van der Feen on double bass. In 2015 the 5th album of the band came out by Trytone records."

"Marcos Baggiani: Iam a musician, drummer, composer and producer. I was born in Buenos Aires, 1973. It was from this place that I begun playing drums. In 2001 I moved to Amsterdam to study at the Conservatory, gaining an MA in Jazz. Since then I live and evolve in Amsterdam, a world wide known hot spot of the improv music scene.

I've been twice convened for International projects representing the Dutch arts: "Jazz Plays Europe 2009" & "Take 5 Europe II 2013".

In 2004 (and until 2006) I've created and curated -together with dancer Valeria Primost- The Meeting Point, a music&dance laboratory that run monthly at Bimhuis; what today functions as Monday Match.

Between 2006 and 2012 I have curated the Trytone Fest at Zaal 100.Trytone is musicians' collective and record label, I'm one of its artistic leaders.

As I mention before I work within dance and other interdisciplinary art forms such as theatre, poetry, video, etc. Please check "interdisciplinary work" for more info on this topic.

Finally I would like to mention my profound interest and ongoing studies in the areas related to psychophysics, especially the Alexander Technique -that has been my constant inspiration during the last years to continue playing and working- as well as other related practices such as Feldenkrais, Fedora Aberastury, Tai chi, Yoga and Tensegrity."
