Greek instrumental ensemble Schema Ensemble blends free improvisation, jazz, and avant-garde sensibilities through an eclectic instrumental palette. The group—featuring Tania Giannouli (piano), Vassilis Tzavaras (guitars, loops), Giannis Notaras (drums, percussion), and Stamatis Dellaportas (clarinet, shakuhachi)—prioritizes experimental sound design and sonic transformation over conventional structures. Their approach to looping and electronic texturing, particularly through Tzavaras's guitar work, bridges acoustic instrumentation with contemporary production techniques.
The ensemble has established itself within Greece's experimental music scene, performing at notable venues and festivals including Synch Festival at Technopolis-Gazi. Schema Ensemble continues to explore the intersection of jazz improvisation, avant-garde composition, and electronic sound manipulation, contributing to the country's thriving underground music culture.
