music
Zamastil's music ranges from contemporary chamber music , tango and film music to music for children and pop music .
“The saxophonist's relentless pounding pedal, which is soon to set in, is actually a stoic sound element and becomes a guide through the color-filled, crunching, always interesting and exciting narrative“ archive ”of Zamastils, which makes it all the more likeable for the listener, with his long, but not to follow a boring gait, but forcing him to listen lovingly through his really intelligent handling of sonic trash. "
“A latent irony runs through the entire CD with its 10 songs (eight by Zamastil, 2 by Tröndle), individual musical components just miss the quote. This deliberate play with pop clichés is extremely clever and calls for a sequel. "
