MYASMO by Mia Zabelka

Mia Zabelka is an Austrian violinist (worth mentioning her truly international background - French, Jewish, Czech) with multiple releases and multiple universes that she is travelling through.
Classically trained in violin both solo and and in ensemble, she explores possibility of her instrument both in acoustic and electronic context - sonorous, more melodic, and elsewhere.
MYASMO, her new album released as a cd and download brings to our attention four places and four sets she has been playing - London, Le Havre, Vienna and Tønsberg. Four different places and four different sets that are connected through acoustic vibe and her vocal improvisations.
Quite dynamic if not frenetic - improvised sets laid out in fully improvised manner but full of discipline and tension.
Mastered by invaluable Lasse Marhaug this fine cd is a nice introduction to Mia's musical world - but only partly - it's definitely an evidence of her surehand skills and mastery of violin. It shows how much you can get out of the instrument and create a lot of emotive themes through improvisation.
Highly recommended taster to her work
