Aaron Zarzutzki - synthesizer
"Aaron Zarzutzki is a improviser of various sorts. He works primarily with misuse and perversion of objects and systems. Virtuosity, volatility, futility, and capability are thought of. Zarzutzki currently lives, works, and plays in Chicago." Aaron has collaborated with many artists including: Nick Hoffman, Brent Gutzeit, Joshua Manchester, Kevin Drumm, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Takahiro Kawaguchi, among many others. He is a member of Green Pasture Happiness alongside Brian Labycz and Daniel Fandiño. His most recent release is "No Dice" with Graham Stephenson on Hideous Replica.
