“ Work for violin and real-time electronics from this acknowledged musician and improviser, a regular partner of Richard Teitelbaum, Otomo Yoshihide, Joêlle Léandre and Voicecrack among many others. After the widely acclaimed “solo at mosteiro dos Jerónimos” (In Situ) this CD demonstrates the continuous research of Carlos ZÌngaro for new articulatory solutions in his relationship with the violin, particularly through the use of the laptop and custom-built software. Improvised music achieves here a terrain of highly personal and poetic intensity.
Born 1848 in Lisbon, Portugal. From 1975 onwards Carlos Zingaro has performed with a wide variety of improvising musicians, including: Barre Phillips, Daunik Lazro, Derek Bailey, Joêlle Léandre, Jon Rose, Kent Carter, Ned Rothenberg, Peter Kowald, Roger Turner, Rüdiger Carl, Dominique Regef, Evan Parker, Günter Müller, Andres Bosshard, Jean-Marc Montera, and Paul Lovens among many others.”[label description]

“Portuguese violinist Zingaro, a regular collaborator with bassist
Joelle Léandre, works solo magic here with his real time blending of violin and electronics. He projects spectral streams of glass harmonica, dips minimalist slabs into corrosive solutions so they glow and effervesce, and mimics the meanderings of animated speech patterns.” [the wire]
