My performances offer an opportunity for reflection and contemplation and have often been described as "an oasis of peace'. Performances
I won the all Ireland Musicmakers' Competition in Youghal, Ireland in 1994.
I can also perform on commission for weddings, naming ceremonies, funerals and all kinds of celebration.
Bookings may come from programmers, bookers, local authority officers, individuals and many others. They may be for a one-off gig or a series of gigs. Please contact me if you would like to enquire about my live performances. +44 (0)1865 721277 |
The
Scotsman Review His music is entirely pleasant, with delay mechanisms and sequencers capturing notes and phrases to build cumulatively on Zinger's playing, thus establishing a musical environment, with repetitions providing a ground course on which he lays further sounds.
As a calming start to one's frenetic Festival day, this could hardly be improved upon, although Arthur's Seat rather than the Pleasance might be a more appropriate location for it. Alexander

I
offer quality performances when I am on the street or when I am playing
in a concert setting. This versatility makes me an effective musician
in residence as I can be invited to a festival and can reach out to the
widest range of people imaginable: where they live, where they work, where
they socialise and where they shop. I can also run workshops in and tutor
flute.
'In
a blacked out attic, a flautist evokes landscapes of the imagination.
Around him are incense candles
and electronic digitisers. Frei Zinger's Flute Dreams at the Pleasance
is indeed a curious mix of elements.
The
effect is soothing, with mantra-like musical phrases enabling the listener's
mind to break free from more mundane concerns. The physical presence of
Zinger's electronics is. however, a distraction even if his cueing foot
movements add a certain choreographic quality to his performance.
