Zachary Crockett is a prolific composer, computer programmer, and interdisciplinary collaborator living in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. His artistic fascinations lie especially in the perception of music performance as ritual. This philosophy presents itself most forcefully to date in his work Fire: Their Voices Cracked for saxophones, percussion, and didgeridoo. His music has been described most often as primal and reverent. Crockett frequently collaborates with choreographers and is composer in residence with the Renegade Ensemble.
