With bass as a central composition and improvisation element, Musgos is an exercise of freedom through sound, devoted to the metaphysical experience of generating something unique and raw.

Born in Portugal in 2007, the project conducted by the musician and visual artist Tiago Margaca, started with artists and musicians at art school of Caldas da Rainha (Portugal).

On 2010 Tiago moved to Berlin to learn how to develop super8 film and later becoming the central format of Musgos visuals. During 9 years a few demos where recorded and countless live shows where played at clubs as Lido, and SO63, also spreading out to other German towns such as Hamburg or Dresden, and to Italian towns like Udine and Viennese.

The project has evolved from participation of brilliant musicians, such as guitarists as Roberto Afonso, Phil Loof and Damian Sardo, vibraphone player Anna Morley, saxophone player Michiel Regner, and an impressive anthology of dummers, wich included Miguel Sampaio, Erickson Gonzalez, Ryan Thomas, Chris Hill, Nicola Lopez, Nona KittieChrist Duus, Boris Biskaborn and Marco Rivagli.

Between 2016 and 2019 the band recorded their debut studio álbum, Memorias dissonantes de paisagens arritmicas. Recorded, mixed and mastered by Mario Engelter at the stunning Studio K61, in Berlin, the álbum was finally released in 2022 in cassette and digital formats by independent mixed media label VIC NIC.

The return of Musgos to Portugal in 2019 was backed by the reenlistment of the band’s first dummer, Miguel Sampaio, who now plays a central role in this two-piece ensemble.

Often complemented by ethereal Super8 projections, Musgos features elements of post-prog-rock and art-punk-jazz, while being best defined by the employment of dissonance and arrhythmia to boost the possibilities of self-expression.
