Marcos Baggiani


I started drumming at the age of 9 in Buenos Aires; where I later developed as a professional musician. In 2001 I moved to Amsterdam.

I’m co-leading the Celano – Baggiani Group, a blend of backgrounds and concepts going from Argentinean roots, rock, improvised music & jazz.
Our 3rd CD “Nothing Changes” together with Michael Moore, Gorka Benitez and Sven Schuster, has just came out through Trytone records.

Together with Natalio Sued, Oscar Jan Hoogland and Harald Austbo we are “The Ambush Party” a band dedicated to the development of instant composed music.

I play and conduct on the “Royal Improvisers Orchestra” the biggest orquestra of improvised music in Holland.

I’m constantly working on improvised music and structured improvisations.
I’ve done collaborations with great improvisers such as John Edwards, Ernst Rijsiger, Michel Moore, Eric Boeren, Yedo Gibson, Michael Fischer, Burton Greene, Oscar Jan Hoogland, Joost Buis, Wilbert de Joode, among other artists and playing also on ensembles.

I’m very involved in the interdisciplinary work with dancers, doing performances, playing for dance lessons and workshops, and composing and structuring music for dance pieces.
I’ve co funded “The Meeting Point”, a revolutionary platform of interdisciplinary instant composition.

Arredondo, Patricio Carpossi, Paula Shocron, Luis Nacht, Matias Mendez, among others

I’m artistic leader of Trytone Stichting; a musicians collective, record label and concert-promoting agency based in Amsterdam.

I’ve got a Bachelor (2005) and a Master degree (2007) on Jazz at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.
