The Chicken Check In Complex

Broken Strings and Falling Hair

Unique

Overall Planning

Rise from Obscurity

Jetsam, from sea unworthiness, things thrown overboard to lighten a hurrying ship.

ZARM Ensemble present a short video, a collage of discarded recordings reconstructed into something new. Miniatures of improvised moments, brimming with collective life and variety making landfall.

Recorded at Galeria Monumental by António Busca.
Edited and Produced by David Magalhães Alves

ZARM Ensamble are an award-winning string quartet started by Carlos "Zíngaro” (violin), 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, which sacralizes the profane. Or profanes the sacred.

ZARM Ensemble has held performances 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.
