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, interruptions which peel back the curtains on cultural practices of art making, noise as an activation of the full body, and relational non-hierarchical webs of listening. His practice spans instrumental composition, dramaturgy, electroacoustic improvisation, installation, landscape film, object performance, sampling, text, and communal sound making.

Faunoos; from the mighty mountains and southern seas of ancient Iran.
