About the Composer
Zachary James Ritter is a composer who wants to work with you. Driven by making music with his friends and making friends with his music, Ritter strives to create works that resonate with his collaborators and audience through shared human experience. Zach's work incorporates the voice, electronics, and the quintessentially human aesthetics of failure. He is influenced most by electronica, minimalism, and traditional music of Ireland and America. Spare, raw musical landscapes invite calm, meditative listening experiences punctuated by layered textures with playfully unpredictable rhythms. He likes to make music people want to listen to, music made in sincerity.
What should I expect to see/hear?
A Density512 performance is more than just a concert.
We harness the power of music, visuals, lighting, film, theater, and more to make an immersive experience for you. We collaborate with artists from other disciplines to bring community together at the intersection of music, art, and culture.
Our audience members often say “I come to Density512 shows because I never know what I am going to see.” And they are right! We put on storytelling concerts, pops shows, opera, ballet, film screenings, video game showcases, and more. Join us at our next performance!
