Ben Zucker is an experimental composer and performer, interested in music’s unique capacities to speculate on systems of change as a rigorous, dynamic play of contemplation and visceral immersion in sonic extremes. This speculation started from a background in jazz and theater, and has extended to include the intersections of philosophy of language and improvisation, arts and platform capitalism, and object-oriented ontology’s application to musical creation. His creative work includes “stirring compositions…built on a lifetime of musical curiosity” (Chicago Reader), and performances on vibraphone, brass, keys, voice, and electronics across styles. This intentionally diverse practice has included highlights such as compositions featured at the Berlin Philharmonie, London Roundhouse, and in PBS documentaries, residencies with OneBeat and the Stockholm EMS, and collaborations with groundbreaking musical figures ranging from Anthony Braxton to Sudan Archives. Deeply invested in the structural elements of musical life, their career has also involved extensive engagement with labor organizing, education, and project management. He lives in Chicago, working as a freelance artist, lecturer at Roosevelt University, President of New Music Chicago, and curator for Elastic Arts’ Improvised Music Series.
