Paul Zakarivan

Paul Zakarivan is an electric guitarist whose work appears in collaborative experimental and improvised music. He is credited as a performer in the Canadian project Devenir-Ensemble, an open formation that brings together instrumentalists, electronics and field recordings to explore different forms of sound interaction.

Within Devenir-Ensemble, Zakarivan's electric guitar participates alongside acoustic guitar, accordion, cello, clarinet, flute, saxophone, bass and drums. The group uses a collective approach to form, allowing sounds of different origins to appear side by side and to be reconfigured through free ensemble performance.
