GERRI JÄGER
Born in Innsbruck (Austria) in 1979 Gerri picked up the drums when he was 9 years old. After some brass-band and grunge-rock teenage years he studied jazz at the Conservatories of Innsbruck (AT) and later in Amsterdam (NL), where he graduated in 2006. After being part of diverse groups from free-improvisation, alt-rock, experimental electronic club music and avant-pop he is interested in playing with different ways to expand boundaries in music and its genres.

DANIELE MARTINI
Daniele Martini was born in 1977 in Rome, a colossal open air museum placed at 1170km South of Brussels and 600km North of Tunis. After accomplishing his studies in Holland he moved to Brussels, where he now lives and operates as an active musician. In his relatively short career Martini has managed to play in various countries of the world with a number of great musicians, from world-class cutting edge improvisers such as Nate Wooley, Mark Sanders, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Chris Corsano, Dominic Lash and many others to afrobeat legend Oghene Kologbo of Fela Kuti’s Africa ’70.

CHRISTIAN GUEREMATCHI
Christian D. Guerematchi was born in Maribor/Slovenia where he finished his ballet education and afterwards became a member of the national ballet. In 2006 he came to the Netherlands with another choreography of Edawrd Clug. As a dance-maker he is inspired by the human body and its ways of physical communication.
