It explores 60 unique small-interval multiphonics, aka close dyads. The musical material, texture, and flow are inspired by the phases, characteristics, and multiplicities of water. Dyads are passed, layered, trilled, and/or played in unison to create a slow, rippling lake of sound. The piece is dedicated to Zachary’s grandfather Paco. Like an abstract biography, each movement is shaped by an aspect or memory of Paco’s life. <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/df50bc959b46b0d864dcc800087ed9641538ec58dba78aae437b9796be397c23/ZG2025.07.07-HiRes-2-1.jpg" data-mid="236155178" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/df50bc959b46b0d864dcc800087ed9641538ec58dba78aae437b9796be397c23/ZG2025.07.07-HiRes-2-1.jpg" /> released August 22nd, 2025 Composed &amp; performed by Zachary GoodEngineered by Ryan Streber at Oktaven AudioRecorded on April 20th &amp; 21st, 2024Produced &amp; mixed by David BirdMastered by Murat Çolak at GERYONDesign &amp; layout by Zander RaymondThis project is generously supported by the Aaron Copland Fund for Music and the Luminarts Cultural Foundation. https://zacharygood.com/Bio Wed, 29 Jan 2020 21:11:24 +0000 Zachary Good https://zacharygood.com/Bio Zachary Good is a multifaceted clarinetist, Baroque recorder player, composer, arranger, and teacher based in Chicago. He navigates Classical, historically-informed, and contemporary performance practices in chamber music, solo, orchestral, experimental, and collaborative spaces.&nbsp; Zachary is the clarinetist of the sextet Eighth Blackbird, a member of Ensemble Dal Niente, and a founding Co-Artistic Director and member of the performance collective Mocrep. He has frequently performed with the International Contemporary Ensemble, Music of the Baroque Chicago, Present Music (Milwaukee), and Manual Cinema. He has been a featured solo artist with the International Contemporary Ensemble, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s All Access Chamber Series, the Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concert Series, the University of Louisville’s New Music Festival, the Washington Arts Ensemble, DePaul University's Ensemble 20+, and at The Phillips Collection. With Eighth Blackbird, Zachary has appeared as a soloist with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, the US Navy Band, the Dallas Winds, and the Pacific Symphony. As an improviser, he performs and records with the trio ZRL (with Lia Kohl and Ryan Packard) and the quintet Honestly Same (with Lia Kohl, Zach Moore, Sam Scranton, and Mabel Kwan), as well as regularly appearing on improvised music series throughout Chicago. His discography includes releases on Cedille Records, Moon Glyph Records, American Dreams Records, Carrier Records, No Index, Homeroom, Parlour Tapes+, ears&amp;eyes, and his own record label Add Dye Editions.&nbsp; As a composer, Zachary explores contrapuntal possibilities on the soprano clarinet with small–interval multiphonics (”close dyads” or double stops), creating the illusion of multiple clarinetists playing simultaneously. His music is quietly virtuosic, inspired by the intricacies of the clarinet and a love for Baroque nuance and form. Zachary’s compositions and intersecting multiphonic research were the focus of his dissertation, “Add Dye: Dyadic Perspectives on Close Dyad Multiphonics for the Soprano Clarinet.” A companion to this document is Zachary’s most substantial composition to date, Lake Heritage&nbsp;(2019–2022): an hour-long piece that incorporates 60 unique multiphonics across four soprano clarinets in Bb. As an arranger, Zachary’s Style Brisé project (2017–present) is an ongoing series of French Baroque harpsichord preludes arranged for bass clarinet, including preludes by Élisabeth de La Guerre, Louis and François Couperin, and Gaspard Le Roux. To enhance these arrangements, he has collaborated with Chris Wood to build a custom electronic sustain pedal to artificially recreate the resonance of a harpsichord. As a collaborator, Zachary works closely with composers to bring new work to life, having premiered over 150 compositions to date. As a Fellow and clarinetist in the Civic Orchestra of Chicago from 2014–2016, he developed the Orchestra's New Music Workshop. He has co-composed album/concert length works with Tonia Ko (Up High), Lia Kohl (Standing Lenticular), Ben Roidl-Ward (Arb), and&nbsp;ZRL (Physics for Listeners), and Mocrep (I Like My Friends). With Mocrep, Zachary has collaboratively devised new works that span artistic disciplines, including theater, performance art, pop albums, books, media, anything, and everything.&nbsp; Zachary is a dedicated and versatile music educator. He serves as the Visiting Assistant Professor of Clarinet at Northern Illinois University, Instructor of Clarinet at Harper College, and a woodwind chamber music coach with the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra. Zachary has presented masterclasses at esteemed institutions, including Oberlin Conservatory of Music, DePaul University, Gettysburg College, Northwestern University, Lawrence Conservatory, and at the universities of Alabama, Arkansas, DePauw, Louisville, North Carolina at Greensboro, Oklahoma, Oregon, Portland State, Texas at Austin, and Wisconsin–Madison. Alongside the musicians of Eighth Blackbird, he was Visiting Instructor at the University of Richmond during the 2019–20 academic year. In 2018, he collaborated with renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma at the Youth Music Culture Guangdong Festival in Guangzhou, China, mentoring young musicians from around the world. Previously, he served as a middle school band director at the Chicago Waldorf School from 2015 to 2021.&nbsp; &nbsp;Zachary is a graduate of Northwestern University (DMA), Oberlin Conservatory, and DePaul University. He has studied with Steve Cohen, Larry Combs, Richard Hawkins, Kathryn Montoya, Eric Nelson, Ron Samuels, and Steve Williamson. He is the recipient of the 2021 Luminarts Classical Winds Fellowship. Zachary has participated in fellowships with the Civic Orchestra of Chicago and the Aspen Contemporary Music program.&nbsp; Zachary is a D’Addario Woodwinds Artist. <img width="400" height="111"

Not adhering to any specific genre, the trio draws material from both free and structured improvisation, exploring the balance point where their sound-worlds tangle and collide. Each member of the group practices a variety of different musical styles, from jazz to indie rock to classical, all of which are folded into their collective improvisatory work. ZRL has recorded three albums: ZRL (No Index Records 2015), Physics for Listeners (Homeroom Chicago 2018), and Our Savings (American Dreams Records 2021). The trio has performed around Chicago at venues such as Elastic Arts, Constellation Chicago, Hungry Brain, High Concept Labs, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. <img width="2220" height="1300" width_o="2220" height_o="1300" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7f3355a0c283670f641f6fbe2c75ff37d9912e4eb0fcdb276bbdc5361c84c184/ZRL-ZRL.png" data-mid="63993960" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7f3355a0c283670f641f6fbe2c75ff37d9912e4eb0fcdb276bbdc5361c84c184/ZRL-ZRL.png" /> <img width="2474" height="3105" width_o="2474" height_o="3105" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b48eceb316923826c82561bfb86b9741034db45c714be5e61f80ec0788538fe1/zrl-tent-Maren-Celest-.png" data-mid="67520610" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b48eceb316923826c82561bfb86b9741034db45c714be5e61f80ec0788538fe1/zrl-tent-Maren-Celest-.png" /> https://zacharygood.com/Eighth-Blackbird Sat, 22 Feb 2020 21:29:46 +0000 Zachary Good https://zacharygood.com/Eighth-Blackbird Eighth Blackbird Eighth Blackbird moves music forward through innovative performance, advocacy for music by living composers, and its legacy of guiding an emerging generation of musicians.

Flexible and adaptable, Dal Niente’s roster of 26 musicians presents an uncommonly broad range of contemporary music, guiding listeners towards music that transforms existing ideas and subverts convention. Audiences coming to Dal Niente shows can expect distinctive productions—from fully staged operas to multimedia spectacles to intimate solo performances—that are curated to pique curiosity and connect art, culture, and people. Over the past two decades, Ensemble Dal Niente has performed concerts across Europe and the Americas, including&nbsp; appearances at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC; The Foro Internacional de Música Nueva in Mexico City; Radialsystem Berlin, MusicArte Festival in Panama City; The Library of Congress and the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C.; the Art Institute of Chicago and the Hyde Park Jazz Festival; Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles; The Americas Society; and the Darmstadt Summer Courses in Germany. Dal Niente is the recipient of the 2019 Fromm Music Foundation prize, and was the first-ever ensemble to win the Kranichstein prize for interpretation in 2012. The group has recordings available on the New World, New Amsterdam, New Focus, Navona, Parlour Tapes+, Kairos, Albany, and Carrier labels; has held residencies at The University of Chicago, Harvard University, Stanford University, Brown University, Brandeis University, and Northwestern University, among others; and collaborated with a wide range of composers, from Enno Poppe to George Lewis to Hilda Paredes to Roscoe Mitchell. The ensemble's name, Dal Niente ("from nothing" in Italian), is a tribute to Helmut Lachenmann's Dal niente (Interieur III), a work that upended traditional conceptions of instrumental technique; and also a reference to the group’s humble beginnings. Zachary has been a member since 2023 and had previously been a frequent guest performer since 2014. www.dalniente.com https://zacharygood.com/Main-Discography-Grid Tue, 08 Feb 2022 14:03:23 +0000 Zachary Good https://zacharygood.com/Main-Discography-Grid <img width="3472" height="3593" width_o="3472" height_o="3593" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ec0966865108d3636ac9909c483ae7e1891397f83a6944e78cb24ecfddf1fe5e/Lake-Heritage-Front-Cover.png" data-mid="241202468" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ec0966865108d3636ac9909c483ae7e1891397f83a6944e78cb24ecfddf1fe5e/Lake-Heritage-Front-Cover.png" /> <img width="700" height="700" width_o="700" height_o="700" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5d5bf5467095480b03d574b38370e1d23a9fbbbb3197a93173ba4be7609ec233/honestly-same-hot-plate.jpg" data-mid="192257344" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/700/i/5d5bf5467095480b03d574b38370e1d23a9fbbbb3197a93173ba4be7609ec233/honestly-same-hot-plate.jpg" /> <img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/06e868d1655a9997680b811e97602ab99118dd54706057a58d521c58a5fb4f63/honestly-same.jpeg" data-mid="132832359" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/06e868d1655a9997680b811e97602ab99118dd54706057a58d521c58a5fb4f63/honestly-same.jpeg" /> <img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0875ee2d94c743c64cfc95016ce0076d4f4d1e2a80a2325f11978a6a1f67fb87/ZRL_our-savings.jpeg" data-mid="132832643" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0875ee2d94c743c64cfc95016ce0076d4f4d1e2a80a2325f11978a6a1f67fb87/ZRL_our-savings.jpeg" /> <img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/db6834ee6c9d29c8ecc9a6a25da91e81a29d4a597f21d35e4b5b7fa5417024be/arb.jpeg" data-mid="132832674" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/db6834ee6c9d29c8ecc9a6a25da91e81a29d4a597f21d35e4b5b7fa5417024be/arb.jpeg" /> <img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e50f8e3498adf512e67120c0b90aa22b09e4bfbb1faefb5f9c186b6c55fcc708/Standing-Lenticular.jpeg" data-mid="132832713" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e50f8e3498adf512e67120c0b90aa22b09e4bfbb1faefb5f9c186b6c55fcc708/Standing-Lenticular.jpeg" /> <img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a28d03f4a02afc11ceb7cfe487430d2905a7849628e087f08f209d790f900097/I-like-my-friends.jpeg" data-mid="132832745" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a28d03f4a02afc11ceb7cfe487430d2905a7849628e087f08f209d790f900097/I-like-my-friends.jpeg" /> <img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e771a16a65919caf0b888c15f1e57a5925a32c5a34e256b8d4fea88c0a70a8cd/Homeroom.jpeg" data-mid="132832903" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e771a16a65919caf0b888c15f1e57a5925a32c5a34e256b8d4fea88c0a70a8cd/Homeroom.jpeg" /> <img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/04aa90055c428eb6403a49ed218a99446870c47278ee6d33b06b231829d0f9d2/ZRL-self-titled.jpeg" data-mid="132832921" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/04aa90055c428eb6403a49ed218a99446870c47278ee6d33b06b231829d0f9d2/ZRL-self-titled.jpeg" /> <img width="5501" height="5501" width_o="5501" height_o="5501" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bd708a6e935ff6929cfffff22560f94086df0af32537c976acf66f42d1b13422/ZINC-resized.png" data-mid="132833299" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bd708a6e935ff6929cfffff22560f94086df0af32537c976acf66f42d1b13422/ZINC-resized.png" />
