SOLO
ANIMATIC THEATRE, SOLO PIANO PROJECT Created in late 2013, it is an electro - acoustic piano solo project with visual projections mappings. The project was premiered during the Jazzbook festival in Mexico City in November 2013. ANIMATIC THEATRE by Mark Aanderud
TRIO

MATRIO • America : Mark Aanderud piano, Stomu Takeishi bass, Jeff Davies drums
MATRIO • Europe : Mark Aanderud piano, Masa Kamaguchi bass, Marc Miralta drums.
MOLE
The collective project between Mark Aanderud and drummer Hernan Hecht came to life after years of playing and producing different jazz and pop-rock projects together. This duet of contemporary experimental music expands in a wide variety of ways, from what started as 4 Limones with sax icon Tim Berne, to becoming a quartet with guitarist David Gilmore or a trio with bassist Stomu Takeishi or Aaron Cruz, it eventually returns to piano-drumms format.
The collective has now three albums on its own, the last two under the London based label Rarenoise Records.
