Andrés Marcos

producer | musician | liveact | SUI

I’m a spanish musician born in Locarno-Switzerland.

I began playing classical guitar at the age of 10 and started playing gigs in rock and blues bands at the end of the 80’s as electric bassist.

Moved to Lausanne in 1990 to study double bass, electric bass and piano at the local jazz school and the jazz section of the conservatory of music of Montreux.

In the following years I’ve played in every sort of jazz related group, got also involved in ensembles playing latin music like flamenco, bossa nova and salsa.

Two years were in big part dedicated working with theatre companies, and exploring more experimental and contemporary forms of improvised music combined with theatre.

Then, in the late 90’s, I fell in love with electronic music, attracted from the freedom in experimentation and the new ways to explore. The interest for improvised forms of music stays awake with my actual electronic projects, where improvisation plays a big role in the composition process.

Since 2004 my residence is Zürich from where I perform as hardware/software liveact and work as a producer.

My releases are available at Multi Vitamins, Miniatura and Stereo-Type.

My other projects are: Clarabella Olssen and ASDF.
