🎧 Ben Zucker’s stirring compositions are built on a lifetime of musical curiosity | misterminsoo
Born in Pennsylvania, Ben Zucker lived in Berkeley, New England, and London before moving to Chicago for a graduate composition program at Northwestern University. He was excited to come here to study because he’d been a longtime fan of the city’s rich, varied musical scenes, including the jazz stalwarts in the AACM and the adventurous rock bands that have defined Chicago indie labels Thrill Jockey and Drag City. Zucker’s music has a similarly ambitious spirit.
, inspired by queen Shammuramat of the Neo-Assyrian Empire; and earlier this year he wrote music for a puppet show by Chicago-based director and puppet artist Jaerin Son titled, Zucker adds studio manipulations to material culled from live improvisations and field recordings. The title’s reference to a “demiurge”—a term ancient Greek philosophers used to describe the creator of the world—foreshadows the spectacle of the music.
