My Paragraph Template I am Nick Zazove, a musician and installation and video artist from the Chicago area. I blend electronic synthesis, hip-hop poetics, and classical forms to build pocket universes, using them to imagine different terms and conditions for a future increasingly run from the top down. I hold an M.A. in Sound Arts from Northwestern University (2026), where I concentrated in music composition, audiovisual art, and multichannel audio engineering.
My Paragraph Template My music blends eclectic, electronically manipulated textures with experimental production techniques. I am influenced by post-punk, techno, hip-hop, art rock, and IDM. I make sure not to write the same song twice. I am currently preparing to release an album in January 2027.

Here are two examples of my work that blend the audio and visual realms:

“From Me to You” (2025)

— Most Recent Album Release

My latest album is comprised of eclectic, elaborate digital soundscapes — each song made entirely from short samples of a person’s name being audibly stated.

“The music of a technicized world can only be made on the instruments that have been devised by a technicized world.”
