Spencer Zahn

New York-based musician and composer Spencer Zahn makes lush, exploratory music that melds numerous genres including chamber jazz, folk, ambient, and modern composition. His largely instrumental catalog includes reflective solo piano works as well as ensemble works emphasizing collaboration and group interplay. A longtime session and touring musician, he made his solo debut with the synth-heavy experimental album People of the Dawn in 2018. Sunday Painter, his first effort leading a full band, appeared in 2020, and he has collaborated with Dave Harrington on several releases. Pigments and Quiet in a World Full of Noise, his acclaimed full-lengths with vocalist Dawn Richard, were issued respectively in 2022 and 2024. Zahn's two-part Statues, split between piano compositions and electronic pieces, arrived between those albums.
