John Zorn (born September 2, 1953) is an American composer, arranger, producer, saxophonist, and multi-instrumentalist with hundreds of album credits as performer.

I'm an additive person—the entire storehouse of my knowledge informs everything I do. People are so obsessed with the surface that they can't see the connections, but they are there."[1.

For Zorn "Composing is more than just imagining music—it's knowing how to communicate it to musicians. And you don't give an improviser music that's completely written out, or ask a classical musician to improvise. I'm interested in speaking to musicians in their own languages, on their own terms, and in bringing out the best in what they do. To challenge them and excite them."[1.

Biography[edit]Early life[edit]John Zorn was born in New York City and learned piano, guitar and flute as a child.[1. His family had diverse musical tastes: his mother, Vera (née Studenski, 1. Henry Zorn (1. 91. French chansons, and country music, and his older brother collected doo- wop, and 1. He attended the United Nations International School from kindergarten to high school associating with school friends from many different cultures.[1.

Zorn spent his teenage years exploring classical music, film music, and, "listening to The Doors and playing bass in a surf band."[1. Zorn acquired an interest in experimental and avant- garde music after buying a record by Mauricio Kagel in 1. He taught himself orchestration and counterpoint by transcribing scores and studied composition under Leonardo Balada.[2. Zorn started playing the saxophone after discovering Anthony Braxton's album For Alto (1. Webster College (now Webster University) in St. Louis, Missouri, where he attended classes taught by Oliver Lake.[2.

While still at Webster, Zorn incorporated elements of free jazz, avant- garde and experimental music, film scores, performance art and the cartoon scores of Carl Stalling into his first recordings which were later released as First Recordings 1. Zorn dropped out of college and, following a stint on the West Coast, moved to Manhattan where he gave concerts in his apartment and other small NY venues, playing saxophone and a variety of reeds, duck calls, tapes, and other instruments.[2. Zorn immersed himself in the underground art scene, assisting Jack Smith with his performances and attending plays by Richard Foreman.[2. He founded a performance art project called the Theatre of Musical Optics in 1. Early composition[edit]Zorn's early major compositions included several game pieces described as "complex systems harnessing improvisers in flexible compositional formats".[2. These compositions "involved strict rules, role playing, prompters with flashcards, all in the name of melding structure and improvisation in a seamless fashion".[2] Zorn's game pieces were often titled after sports, and include Track & Field (1. Baseball (1. 97. 6), Lacrosse (1.

Dominoes (1. 97. 7), Curling (1. Golf (1. 97. 7), Hockey (1. Cricket (1. 97. 8), Fencing (1. Watch Asterix Le Gaulois Full Movie. Pool (1. 97. 9), and Archery (1. Eugene Chadbourne's Parachute label, becoming the first albums under Zorn's leadership.[3.

His most enduring game piece is Cobra, composed in 1. In the early 1. 98. Zorn was heavily engaged in improvised performance which included "blowing duck calls in buckets of water at fringe venues" as both a solo performer and with other like- minded artists.[2] Zorn's first solo saxophone (and duck call) recordings were originally released in two volumes as The Classic Guide to Strategy in 1.

Lumina label.[3. 6] Zorn's early small group improvisations are documented on Locus Solus (1. Zorn with various combinations of other improvisers including Christian Marclay, Arto Lindsay, Wayne Horvitz, Ikue Mori, and Anton Fier.[3. Ganryu Island featured a series of duets by Zorn with Michihiro Sato on shamisen, which received limited release on the Yukon label in 1.

Zorn has subsequently released these recordings as CDs on Tzadik making them more widely available than the original vinyl pressings.[3. Breakthrough recordings[edit]Zorn's breakthrough recording was 1. The Big Gundown: John Zorn Plays the Music of Ennio Morricone, where Zorn offered radical arrangements of themes from The Big Gundown (1. Once Upon a Time in the West (1. A Fistful of Dynamite (1.

Once Upon a Time in America (1. Japanese music, soul jazz, and other diverse musical genres.[4. The Big Gundown was endorsed by Morricone, who is quoted as saying: "This is a record that has fresh, good and intelligent ideas. It is realization on a high level, a work done by a maestro with great science- fantasy and creativity .. Many people have done versions of my pieces, but no one has done them like this".[4. Zorn followed this with his second major- label release Spillane in 1. Albert Collins and the Kronos Quartet, and the extended title track, one of Zorn's file- card compositions, which featured text by Arto Lindsay set to an array of sonic film noir references.[4.

This method of combining composition and improvisation involved Zorn writing descriptions or ideas on file- cards and arranging them to form the piece.[4. Zorn described the process in 2. I write in moments, in disparate sound blocks, so I find it convenient to store these events on filing cards so they can be sorted and ordered with minimum effort. Pacing is essential. If you move too fast, people tend to stop hearing the individual moments as complete in themselves and more as elements of a sort of cloud effect ..
