Marcos Baggiani (Argentina 1973) is a drummer, composer and producer. Born in Buenos Aires, he moved to Amsterdam in 2001, where he studied at the Conservatorium and gained an MA in Jazz. Enlightened and inspired by his encounters with the impro/jazz scene in the Netherlands, Marcos has evolved into a creative, powerful and versatile musician. Established ensembles include Jerboah, The Ambush Party, the C.B.G and bAgg*fisH. Marcos has collaborated with such improvisers as Ellery Eskelin, Shahzad Ismaily, Michael Moore, Sylvie Courvoisier, Ernst Reijsiger, John Edwards, Luc Ex, Oren Marshall, Wolter Wierbos, Ingrid Laubrock, Ab Baars and Achim Kaufmann, playing all over Europe and America. Baggiani is active in Amsterdam’s flourishing improvisation scene, both as player and organizer. He is one of the artistic leaders of record label Trytone and curated the Trytone Festival between 2006 and 2012. He curates the EARsessions in Amsterdam. He was co-founder of The Meeting Point, a monthly music & dance laboratory at the Bimhuis, which today functions as Monday Match.
“The perpetual challenge of reconciling the embraceable passages with those more abrupt and acerbic is a limitless source of fun and intrigue.” BIRTH IS THE WORM, Dave Sumner, U.S.A. (about C.B.G)
“... Drummer Marcos Baggiani is a nice mischief-maker whose unexpected interventions often steer the music into new directions. That’s the great strength of The Ambush Party: powerful personalities with a strong will.” Tim Sprangers / DE VOLKSKRANT **** "These four guys really speak the same language despite diverse backgrounds. It's the language of poli- stylistic risks, collectively created tension

“... Drummer Marcos Baggiani is a nice mischief-maker whose unexpected interventions often steer the music into new directions. That’s the great strength of The Ambush Party: powerful personalities with a strong will.” Tim Sprangers / DE VOLKSKRANT **** "These four guys really speak the same language despite diverse backgrounds. It's the language of poli- stylistic risks, collectively created tension. You'll undergo each piece like a liberating act of creation. Despite all roughness full of poetry." JAZZ PODIUM - Jörg Konrad (about Lily's deja vu) "But the most powerful tracks are the final four, where naked tenor saxophone ranges from stealth to bombast and everything in between, shadowed at every turn, in every corner, by Baggiani’s subliminal interplay." The NEW YORK CITY JAZZ RECORD (about bAgg*fisH)

Heuvel Music Center (Hoofddorp) 1996 - 2001 Escuela de música Tademus (Buenos Aires - AR) Master classes and Workshops on Improvisation Because improvisation resembles real and everyday life in its precariousness and unpredictability, it contains a necessary element of realism, with which many people can identify immediately, even when the musical content is strange or alien. Because improvisation resembles real life, it can illuminate life. I offer a workshop of improvised music and instant composing. We will play with sound , textures, dynamics, counterpoint, timbre and orchestration, motivic developments, recycling of creative material. Sound research in the instrument and discovering extensions for the timbre creation. How do we practice improvisation collectively and alone. How can we, without fixed ideas play in the moment, be spontaneous and at the same time being able to listen and to react to what is happening. Musicians from all disciplines are welcome, from jazz to classic, to rock to world music, whatever...
