Andreas leads various projects with which he records and tours
Virgo
“Imagination lies in the wait as the most powerful enemy, naturally raw, and enamored of absurdity, it breaks out against all civilizing restraints like a savage who takes the delight in grimacing idols”. J.W Goethe
Improvised music guided by powerful melorhythms, developing an alchemy between spontaneous compositions and urban, dark ostinatis revealing the extreme range of the instruments chosen for this project. Some pieces from the repertoire are complemented by soundpainting.
VIRGO is the result of my musical encounters over the last 25 years. As part of a dynamic process of synthesising my creations, this project is nourished by and carries the colours of a new musical direction (BLT, By-Spiel Project, Red Brick organic trio, Dusty Road, Val Afumo, Blood on the Floor, Ragga Trio, Galm quart, Loscamiogulfos and Slosh!, Triple Nipple). In the course of my encounters and exchanges, I’ve been able to immerse myself in diverse musical aesthetics and draw from them the elements that make up this project, born in 2019. The sound register is inspired by the urban environment of the major cities around the world that I’ve visited over the last 25 years during my tours with various musical projects. I’ve kept a record of them, so that one day I can musically transcribe the roar of these cities from my cellular memory.

Nest
Nest is a guitar and drums duo—Andreas Fulgosi & George Hadow—shaped slowly over 14 years of playing together across a wide range of projects. From the combustible energy of GALM Quartet (with Michael Foster and Laurens van der Wee) to the equally unpredictable Slosh (with Gregor Vidic), their collaboration has always centered on raw intensity and deep listening.
In 2025, George joins two of Andreas’ projects: a tour with Virgo in Portugal and a residency in Geneva with the Post Garde Freaks Orchestrum—an ensemble built around homemade DIY instruments and open-form sonic compositions.
Nest sits at the edge of noise, free improvisation, and visceral energy. Their setup is stripped-down but volatile: fractured rhythms, overdriven guitar, and a shared instinct for tension, disruption, and release. Less concerned with genre than with immediacy, each performance unfolds as a collision of noise, silence, and pulse—teetering on the brink of collapse.
Spring 2026, Nest will tour Japan and record with Otomo Yoshihide and Akira Sakata—two artists whose fearless approaches have long inspired their own. This marks a new chapter in their ongoing search for something wild, urgent, and uncompromising.

The Poste-Garde Freaks Orchestrum
This musical creation in wild lutherie (musical instruments made with recycled materials) is an encounter between two artists Andreas Fulgosi and John Menoud as well as two musical universes.
What unites them are improvisation, the ghostly exegesis of timbres lost in space-time and the search for the unheard, with the aim of emancipating the creative imagination, decolonizing the imaginary and invoking magic through creativity.
An adventure inhabited by the shadow of Edgard Varèse, Charles Ives, Harry Partch, Frank Zappa and many others.
This music created and performed by 8 musicians is the result of 3 weeks of intense work and the beginning of a great musical adventure. This project will set off in 2026 on the roads of Europe.

With a bus transformed into a mobile workshop, musicians travel to meet the public to create musical instruments together from recycled materials.
This participatory artistic approach takes music out of institutional settings, highlighting musical inventiveness and creativity, even for those who aren’t musicians.
It’s a tool for building connections, immersing participants in a contemporary musical experience that includes several stages: collecting materials and everyday objects, imagining and building musical instruments together, exploring a soundscape, and playing as a group.

I offer you a moment of great "sol(o)itude" interacting with sound, silence, rhythm, space and time, creative impulses, the feeling of emptiness, the constant back and forth between the head and "the heart & soul" and the nostalgia for the present moment.

Slosh!
Dynamic and powerful. Rhythmically involved they try not to loose their will to rocking the night. Passionate and warm dressed, loosing their souls for a melodic demon forgetting their bodies running the song horse trust and surprise, that’s how it is no jokes and a lot fun but still kidding, seriously ! But if somebody is loosing his mind out of control there always who keeps the right way who know how to manage the fall…

Sloshes brains 2
…is the reunion and almost ten years of collaboration between guitar player Andreas Fulgosi and saxophonist Gregor Vidic. With their common background in improvised music, they have experimented over the years with a few existing projects (trios, quartets, quintets, and larger ensembles) . They have evolved a style that is principally inspired by the perpetual stream of creativity and friendship, developing melodic deconstruction, noise, and parallel rhythmic confusion in perpetual change and diatonic destruction. The capacity to mix guitar and saxophone sonorities in complex and advanced cacophony or simply melodically friendly excursions gives them the opportunity to explore their limits in what we call instant composing tendencies, with an eye always open to absurd resolutions. We can define them as completely eclectic but at the same time totally accessible to anyone who has curiosity.
For the next 2026 tour, they have the objective to do it the old-school way : no funding money, no patrons, no help from state structures, privates, and so on. The idea is to travel by train all around Europe, playing door money gigs or similar , trying to cover any expenses simply through show remunerations and hospitality from clubs and friends. The « do it yourself » idea, or the so-called « gypsy way » of touring, is important for their vision and their art, as they aim to play as many concerts as possible in a month or so, keeping their artistic approach always awake and in ongoing progress.
Don’t miss them out!
