ZIRAFA, MUSIC MAKER
Zirafa is a drummer, composer, engineer and producer interested in exploring the boundary between the familiar and the unknown. Combining a love of the drums and piano with an affinity for electronics and ambient sounds, he's constantly trying to figure out how to balance contradictions and push forward to bring disparate things together. Along those lines he helps run Soapbox Music, a coop recording studio and collective that aims to bring musicians together to share ideas, resources and opportunities in order to build a supportive and creative community in Chicago. He's been composing songs since childhood and has played in many bands over the years including Black Tie Elephant (jazz/punk), Orange Drink (indie/dance/experimental), Animate Objects (hip-hop), Swoon Method (rock) and has a new live project in the works. When he isn't working on music, you can usually find him in his workshop building something or searching for the best banh mi sandwich in town.
