Replacement in the following fortnight, at the same time

Z2B is a program born out of a collaboration between Antena 2 and Galeria Zé dos Bois, dedicated to broadcasting recent concerts presented at ZDB venues, especially those of the so-called new improvised music – a category based more on the exclusion of the canonical genres of classical, folk, pop/rock, or jazz music than on the certainty of what improvisation, experimentation, sound design, or the art of noise actually are.
Alongside the concerts, during the three hours of the Z2B broadcast, we will also have the opportunity to exchange a few words with the musicians, visit the exhibitions, installations, and performances in the Bairro Alto and Marvila venues, and, in some rare fallow month, access the ZDB archives where many of the records that have marked the national scene in recent decades are kept.
Finally, this is a program that takes advantage of the cutting-edge technology installed in bovine horns, bringing the best national products with controlled designation of origin to new pastures, thus disproving the popular expression ‘a bird in the hand is worth two oxen in the bush’. As you can see, it is also a cornucopia of puns for quiet evenings.

Ep. 2 - 02/03/26

Featured on the second edition of Z2B:
The concert, on February 4 at ZDB, featured two solo sets offering two contrasting approaches to the language of the electric guitar. That of French artist Nina Garcia, in the presentation of her debut album under her own name, “Bye Bye Bird,” in which explorations of the acoustic space of the room, the play of feedback with the amplifier, and the body of the instrument were dominant notes; and that of João Carreiro, in which his instrumental songs and soundscapes are supported by the processing of effects.
And also the concert on the 14th, now at the ZDB venue in Marvila, by the duo of Elori Saxl on electronics and Henry Solomon on baritone saxophone and bass clarinet, on the last stop of the European tour for the album “Seeing is Forgetting,” in a register of atmospheres diluted in minimalism, which inaugurated the collaboration between these American musicians in 2025. During the intervals, we talked with the musicians, recalled the future programming of the ZDB, and lost ourselves in other minutiae.
