about

bAgg*fisH

Michael Fischer (A): tenor saxophone, feedback_saxophone, violin
Marcos Baggiani (NL): drums, small instruments

Free improvised music, flowing between electro-noise, contemporary music, free jazz, post-avant and soundscapes.
This is an energetic noise impro duo, psychedelic and poetic at the same time, a super-concentrated research worker on the instable feedback texture and a frenetic and sensitive drummer coping with it.

"They create their very own and genuine wonderful 'sound world', highly idiosyncratic and oblique, where everything can happen, and it does." 
(mica, M. Ternai)

"This duo is a state where inner and outer reality are merging by poetic resonance; taking care of the mutual musical being created within the flow of the common creational moment." M. Fischer
“Playing bAgg*fisH music is like surfing: you dig into the moment, the wave has it’s own life, the music is flowing and you want to balance on your feet and surf it.” M. Baggiani
