Ame Zek

Ame Zek is a Croatian-born electroacoustic musician, guitarist, composer and sound artist based in Berlin. His work combines prepared acoustic and electric guitars with percussion, self-made objects, contact microphones, modular synthesis, feedback and digital devices. These materials allow him to approach the guitar as a changing source of resonances, noise and microscopic sonic detail.

Active in Berlin's improvising and experimental scenes since 2006, Zek develops projects at the meeting point of acoustic improvisation, electroacoustic composition, field recording and noise. Microtonal relationships, overtones, unconventional resonance and the unpredictable behaviour of sound-generating systems are recurring interests in his performance practice.
