The Magic I.D. is a Berlin-based quartet exploring the juncture of song forms with abstract music. The band, consisting of Margareth Kammerer (vocals & guitars), Christof Kurzmann (vocals, g3 & lloopp), Kai Fagaschinski and Michael Thieke (both clarinet), formed in summer 2005 after previously being connected via smaller groupings and projects. The musicians expand "songs" through the prism of experimental sensibilities and mesh the two remarkably fluidly. The quartet presented its music in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Portugal, among others at Music Unlimited (Wels 2006), Jazz á Mulhouse (Mulhouse 2007), Teatro Fondamenta Nuove (Venice 2007), Angelica Festival (Bologna 2008), Vooruit (Gent 2009), Auditorium Parco Della Musica (Rome 2009), Serralves em Festo (Porto 2010), Echtzeitmusiktage (Berlin 2010), Konfrontationen (Nickelsdorf 2011), and Alternativa (Prague 2011).
