M.Z.A.L. 
Is a new musical project of (Marta Zapparoli & Albrecht Loops) started in 2024. 
The Duo focuses on improvisation - live performances with the use of prepared tapes with self-prerecorded radio waves,  real-time radio waves detection through the use of antennas and radio receivers, in fusion with amplified electric guitar , extended strings , electronics, and effects.  
The Duo creates immersive sonic landscapes of obscure noise, and joyful melodies, fluting in an ocean of interference. A sonic dialogue in between electromagnetic, audio waves and radio waves.
