After some very successful years "MARABU" broke up. Afterwards he collaborated with the guitar player Matthias Gneist. Several different projects followed, among others "Alis Saftladen" (songs and puppet plays with Alexander Treichel and Vera Pachale), collaboration with Peter Winzer (poet) and Siegfried Neher (keyboard) and a project with Gitti Kind (voc) and Ecki Kind (voc, guit). From 1988 to 1989 he was a member of the band "Freilauf". In 1989 Klaus Roß moved to West-Berlin. At first he was playing bass with the Berlin funk band "Pepperonis". Further on he was composing for and playing guitar with the Berlin band "Little Wing" (acoustic pop) with Franziska Valenti (voc).
