Andreas Markus

I..m a double bass player, pianist, arranger and composer living and creating music in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 2005 I finished my studies at Rythmic Music Conservatory in Copenhagen, during which I studied three years with bassplayer Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen.My four compositions here on myspace are taken from an unreleased project from 2004 called "Klorofyl". The mission of this project was to register the exact source(s) of inspiration to each composition. This registration would then besides from increasing my insight in my own musical language, give me the oportunity of making a tribute to some of the great beings that have influenced me immensely. Thus, e.g., the composition "Respekt for Andrea Marcelli" refers to a collaboration I had with Italian drummer and composer Andrea Marcelli that influenced me to write this tune. And thus "Respekt for..." in danish means that I..m sending him my respect.Recently I started a new jazz trio with the pianist Thomas Clausen and the drummer Andrea Marcelli. We plan on recording a live CD during the summer 2008. Besides this I am currently playing with new-urban folk band Spektakel, with alternative blues rock band Grow Fins, with the incredibly wonderful singer Sussie Nielsen and with the Danish rock band Skråplan.
