Akademie der Künste, Hanseatenweg 10, 10557 Berlin / Studio
Carlos Zingaros "Storia Intramuri-Walls" entpuppt sich als tagträumerische Exkursion zu bestimmten Stellen in Lissabon: Strukturen, die leicht übersehen und -hört werden – die Häuserwände der Stadt.
Born in Portugal, Carlos "Zingaro" Alves studied classical music, was a member of the Lisbon University Chamber Orchestra during the '60s, and in the latter half of the decade formed Plexus, which was the only Portuguese new music group around. After completing his Stage Design studies at Lisbon Theater High School, he became involved in scoring and performing music for theater productions, from 1974 to 1980 he served as music director for Lisbon-based theater group Comicos. In 1979, he received a Fulbright Grant and was invited to come to Woodstock, NY and participate in the Creative Music Foundation. His involvement with the theater continued as he received the Portuguese Critics Award for best theater music (1981), worked with Italian theater director Giorgio Barberio Corsetti on his Kafka Trilogy (1988), and worked as stage and costume designer for other productions. Zingaro has also produced several film scores, and collaborated with dance. He has performed at new and improvised music festivals in Europe, Asia and North America. The '90s found Zingaro performing on many recordings including his regular collaborations with Richard Teitelbaum.
