about

"Thorough Ghost is about persistent ideas that get lodged in our brains and how they re-emerge in new contexts throughout the course of our lives. This can either be dangerous in preventing us from moving forward or give us perspective on our past selves. This concept emerged in a literal way in this piece - the plucked violin phrase that begins halfway through was from music I worked on in 2011. It was never written down or recorded, but there it was, lodged in my memory - the ghost of an idea from an old version of myself just waiting for the right time and place to pop up again."

Minneapolis based percussionist and composer Zack Baltich melds the obscure and the familiar. Utilizing a variety of instruments (percussive and otherwise) he creates long-form, emotionally-driven music. This aesthetic comes from a simple artistic purpose: to connect with others in a way that inspires curiosity, satisfaction, and empathy. Pairing approachability with adventure, Zack is intertwined with the land and people of the Midwest, not just in a performer/audience relationship, but also in the writing and recording process. Whether this has been through collaborations with poets, or recording sound bouncing off of cave walls throughout Minnesota, he continues to find inspiration in the border between urban and rural settings. Zack’s work has been supported by the American Composers Forum, Cedar Cultural Center, and Minnesota State Arts Board.
