Jonathan Zorn is a composer, performer, and educator of
experimental, electronic, and improvised music. His electronic music
pairs improvising musicians with interactive computer systems to
create hybrid, human-machine ensembles. Zorn's interest in vocal
utterance inspired a series of pieces in which spoken language
is interrupted by electronic forces, drawing attention to the gap
between speech and sound. Zorn has been active as an improvisor on bass and electronics for 20 years and has
performed at Red Cat, the Walker Art Center, the Verona Jazz Festival, and 
the Library of Congress.
