Zander Raymond is an interdisciplinary artist and musician living and working in Chicago, IL. In his visual work, he improvises with found materials from his day to day to make collages and sculptures that serve as an autobiographical record of experience while pointing toward the unseen. His music is similarly rooted in improvisation, utilizing synthesizers, field recorders, and open-source sound computers to sample, warp, and build sonic images that embrace serendipity and highlight the musicality of the ordinary. Past Projects have been hosted by Devening Projects (Chicago, IL), Weatherproof (Chicago, IL), Switch Hook Projects (Chicago, IL), and Agatha’s (Buffalo, NY). He’s released music on Moon Glyph, Sound as Language, Florabelle, Cached.media, among others.

Erik Kramer: From Chicago music writer Levi Dayan: “Erik’s one of the only people in town doing the kind of haunted pastoral thing that I associate with a lot of my favorite ambient music coming out right now…and is working within a lineage going back to the heady experiments of the New Weird America scene but totally doing his own thing with it.”
