Jack Herscowitz is a Chicago-based composer, improviser, and sound artist working across experimental music and art practices. Described as “the slow descent of the sun at twilight” (A Closer Listen), his current work centers around commitment to unadorned musical materials to reveal their complexities, exorcisms of mass-produced tech, imperceptibly glacial sonic transformations, interruptions which peel back the curtains on the overlooked, noise as an activation of the full body, and relational webs of listening. His practice spans instrumental composition, dramaturgy, electroacoustic improvisation, installation, performance art, landscape film, field recording, object performance, sampling, text, and communal sound making. He is active both as a laptop improviser and as a solo electronics performer, drawing from noise, glitch, and vaporwave, to reclaim the sounds of capitalism’s sonic warfare. His recent solo and collaborative records have been released on Zoomin’ Night (Beijing), Searching Records (Joshua Tree), Drongo Tapes (Seattle), and Harmonic Ooze Records (Tucson).
