Canceled: ZRL: Our Savings

This show has been canceled. We're sorry for any inconvenience.

Arts + Literature Laboratory welcomes ZRL to Madison on June 4, 2022 at 7:00pm. This special concert celebrates the release of their newest project, Our Savings! Tickets $15 ($10 students/members) advance online until two hours before the show, or $20 at the door. Advance purchase recommended as capacity will be limited. Please check the ALL website in advance for the most up to date COVID-19 safety policy.

ZRL is Zachary Good, Ryan Packard, and Lia Kohl. Zachary plays clarinets and recorders. Ryan plays percussion and electronics. Lia plays cello and sometimes sings through a megaphone. They make their music in the moment, in a practice not unlike being in a three person canoe. They formed in 2014 out of mutual love, trust, and admiration for one another.

Zachary Good

Zachary Good is a Chicago-based clarinetist, chamber musician, composer, and music educator. He is the clarinetist of the sextet Eighth Blackbird, a member of Ensemble Dal Niente, and Honestly Same. Zachary is the Visiting Assistant Professor of Clarinet at Northern Illinois University. Zachary Good’s music meticulously explores the contrapuntal and harmonic possibilities of quiet two-note multiphonics on the clarinet, creating the illusion of multiple clarinetists playing simultaneously. His music is quietly virtuosic, inspired by the intricacies of the clarinet and a love for Baroque nuance and form. Lake Heritage was released on Good's own record label, Add Dye Editions.

Lia Kohl

Lia Kohl (b. New York, NY) is a composer and sound artist based in Chicago. Trained as a cellist, she also incorporates synthesizers, field recordings, toy instruments, and radios into her work, searching for a balance between virtuosity and curiosity. She gravitates towards sound practices which reveal and speak to their time and place: field recording, improvisation, radio broadcast and transmission. She often focuses on mundane or pedestrian sounds – sounds which often go unnoticed or under-documented, searching for the profound, unknown, and beautiful in everyday life.

She performs as a soloist, a collaborator and composes works for ensembles. She has presented work and performed at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, The Renaissance Society, Union Station Chicago, Eckhart Park Pool, and Big Ears Festival. She has created sound installations for Experimental Sound Studios' Audible Gallery and Roman Susan Art Foundation. She has been a... Read More
