Saxophone player Albert Cirera one of the most important Spanish improvisers works with Ramon Prats fascinating drummer from many years. They both are one of the shinest points on the European musical scene. On the other hand ZARM Ensemble. ZARM Ensemble is an award-winning string quartet started by legendary Portugal violin master Carlos "Zíngaro”, David Magalhães Alves (Violin), Ulrich Mitzlaff (Cello), and Alvaro Rosso (Double bass).
From an almost compulsive fascination with sound, the overwhelming resonance of large acoustic spaces, and the subtleties of false emptiness. We are left with the collective exploration of strings and wood, in constant vibrations in their reflected silences.
A different string quartet sacralizes the profane. Or profane the sacred. Founded as StringChamberPot, later renamed ZARM Ensemble, has performed at Galeria Monumental, Lisboa(2018); the MIA festival, Atouguia da Baleia ( 2019); Faroeste EMCII, Caldas da Rainha (2021); Culturgest - Caixa Geral de Depósitos, Lisboa(2022); Ciclo de Polinização, Paredes de Coura (2022); and was part of the “Renova” project led by Musician Carlos Zíngaro and Choreographer Paula Pinto, winner of Renova Art Commissions (RAC) 2021 curated by Martim Sousa Tavares.

The eponymous title is introduced by an expressive dialogue of strings between the violinist and the double bass player. What comes next has a spectral beauty, the five bandmates improvising spontaneously a moving sound mass which rises in power very slowly like a tide. This is a perfect piece to illustrate the inexorable movement of the Solaris protoplasmic ocean. In the end, though, the triumph of this music is to charge off in the direction of something entirely new. Dragonjazz
Described as “an ecological history of humanity,” this sparse, tense suite of songs perfectly balances melody and chaos. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 28, 2018
