Die explosive Musik dieses Quartett's entsteht im spontanem Spiel, in einer ineinander fließenden Kommunikation von direkten Ideen und abgeklärter Spielkunst. Die Interaktion zwischen den Ensemblemitgliedern funktioniert perfekt. Dem Quartett gelingt die Entwicklung vielschichtigster Klanglandschaften. Abstraktion, fließende Melodieketten und metrisch ungebundene Klangfarbenspiele finden in seiner Musik zueinander. Das Ensemble versteigt sich gekonnt in spannungsgeladene Improvisationsabenteuer.

Marco Eneidi living in Vienna, Austria since November of 2004. Mr. Eneidi is Artistic Director of the Neu New York/Vienna Institute of Improvised Music (http://nenuvi.org), an organization he co-founded in the Fall of 2005, and which has since become an important and integral learning and creative performance institution in Vienna, as well as one of the best parties every Monday night in the city. Founder and Artistic Director of Botticelli Records since 1987.
Recent performances by Marco in the past several years have included duets with drummers Andrew Cyrille (Ulrichsberg Kaleidophon), Han Bennink (Nickelsdorf Konfrontationen), Paul Lovens and Sunny Murray; groups led by Roscoe Mitchell, Butch Morris, William Parker, and a five night stint with Cecil Taylor at the Iridium Club in New York. Numerous gallery openings throughout Europe with the Austrian artist Franz West have included performing at the Venice Biennale and the Albertina Museum in Vienna. Current projects include an upcoming soundtrack recording for a film on American artist Cy Twombly and Austria artist Franz West. Musician/Composer/alto saxophonist Marco Eneidi has learned music by way of the oral tradition from his many close friends and mentors. Aesthetics, composition and the organization of sound structure comes mainly through two close personal friendships with Bill Dixon and Cecil Taylor. Composition teachers have included William Allaudin Mathieu, Pauline Oliveros and Alvin Curran. On the horn would have to of course include Sonny Simmons for sound, Jimmy Lyons for speed, and Jim Pepper, Dewey Redman, C - Sharpe, Don Cherry and Earl Cross for love and support. Time/Space/Rhythm and the snap-crackle-pop of life from Denis Charles, Jackson Krall, Spirit and Donald Robinson. And Way Down Low from Wilbur Morris, Peter Kowald, William Parker and Lisle Ellis. "What's immediately attractive about Marco Eneidi's saxophone playing is that it's loud and fast. Nothing can prepare you for his tone; let loose in a small ensemble his tone won't intimidate as much as terrify.... Then there is his superhuman virtuosity on the horn. No tempo is too fast; for that matter, the faster the tempo, the more natural his playing sounds..... Eneidi's music can speak in a 20th Century formal concert music voice..."
