Zane Morris () is a guitarist based in Brooklyn NY. His performance style is defined by a structured, hushed, and textured form of minimalist guitar improv. Formerly known as Tint, Morris released his final blistering LP “Ricochet Screen” in 2018 during the final days of the experimental label Root Strata. Following a debilitating injury and eventual rehabilitation, Morris has re-emerged abandoning his alias in a more tempered playing style. Though Classically trained and raised on underground hardcore, Morris has recently made efforts to invert such aural domination and offer a tranquil distribution of simmering modal motifs, all fixed under the spell of his simultaneous training as a bell ringer at Trinity Church in Manhattan and his friendship with mentor Loren Connors. Forging a new path and leaving behind old methods, the live setting is an ideal opportunity to witness the ongoing evolution of Zane Morris’ unique contribution to the experimental minimalist canon.
Deep Listening Part 1 is the first installment of a two-part series honoring the work and life of Pauline Oliveros, created in collaboration with Gene Siskel Film Center () and Experimental Sound Studio ().
