SUMMARY:Performance: "Forest of Signs"
DESCRIPTION:Artist in Residence Ben Zucker Presents “Forest of Signs”\nForest of Signs is a quartet performing new original music by Ben Zucker where complexity\, intuition\, and exploration meet and flourish. The unusual instrumentation of electric guitar\, piano\, violin\, and vibraphone is matched by the players’ experience across chamber music\, jazz\, and experimental improvisation. The pieces are never the same twice but are always full of intriguing\, enticing combinations of dissonance\, groove\, and space. \nBen Zucker (Cliff Dwellers AIR 2026-2027) is an experimental composer and performer\, interested in music’s unique capacities to model systems of change through a rigorous\, dynamic play of contemplation and visceral immersion in sonic extremes. Starting from a background in jazz and theater\, this speculation now regularly mixes in explorations of philosophy\, improvisation\, ambience\, alternative notations\, juxtapositions\, and protocols. His practice includes “stirring compositions…built on a lifetime of musical curiosity” (Chicago Reader)\, and performances on vibraphone\, brass\, keys\, voice\, and electronics across styles. \nThe Quartet also features: Andrew Sudhibhasilp\, Billie Howard\, and Mabel Kwan. \n5 pm – Doors Open\n6 pm – Dinner\n7 pm – Program \n$60 Members\n$70 Invited Guests\n$20 Program Only \nreservations@cliff-chicago.org\n312-882-8080
