Ingar Zach

Ingar Zach is a Norwegian percussionist, composer and improviser whose work explores acoustic resonance, friction, duration and the expanded resources of percussion instruments. His practice moves between experimental chamber music, free improvisation, solo performance and composition, treating percussion as a family of subtly changing sound-producing surfaces.

He co-founded SOFA Music and has collaborated in ensembles such as Dans les arbres and the trio LOOPER. His research project The Vibrating Drum investigates new practices for percussion through instrument resonance, preparations and amplification. Solo recordings including Musica liquida and Strumento di etimo incerto document his developing relationship with the vibrating body of the drum.
