The project Magnetic Sound Machine started in 2005, focusing on jazzrock and fusion music, from the Italian and international '70s tradition through current styles. Alessandro Caldato, Giacomo Girotto, Stefano Volpato and Riccardo Pestrin set up the “magnetic” quartet. Andrea Massarotto was a fifth member until 2010. In 2006 the band self-produced its first album, Elements. MSM also released Chromatic Tunes in 2008 and Chances & Accidents in 2010.
