Teamgeist

Jazz and Rock

TEAMGEIST is an improvised musical project by Maximilian Markowsky. The project gathers musicians from around the world who have never met or played together before and captures their first musical encounter live in the studio. Markowsky was born in Hamburg and grew up in multicultural surroundings. He is german, french and swiss and is a former member of CAMERA (Remember I was carbon dioxide. 2014, Bureau B). Leonard Logan (2015, Ancre Music) is the first release by TEAMGEIST and was recorded in New York City and Los Angeles in the summer of 2014, featuring guest musicians Lia Braswell (drums, LE BUTCHERETTES), Kristin Mueller (drums, session musician) and Jonathan Hischke (bass, DOT HACKER). The project's line-up varies with each chapter of this musical experiment, the only constant being produced and edited by guitarist Maximilian Markowsky. Mivart Storkower (2017, Environmental Studies) is TEAMGEIST's second release. It was recorded in Berlin and Bristol and is featuring guest musicians Kiran Gandhi (drums, M.I.A.), Jim Barr (bass, PORTISHEAD), Paul Pollinger (drums, NESSI), Agathe Max (violin, KURO), Christos Kollias (drums, EXPATRIATE) and Guy Metcalfe (drums, THOUGHT FORMS). The album was recorded in five days between April 2015 and June 2016 and is being distributed via the Environmental Studies label in the UK and EU.
