Chaz Underriner
Key Facts
Chaz Underriner (b. 1987 in Texas, USA) is a composer, intermedia artist and performer based in DeLand, Florida. Chaz’s work explores the representation of reality in art, especially landscape, through the juxtaposition of video projections, audio recordings and live performers. His work is “quietly radiant in animated stasis” (The Wire) and “enchant[s] the listener so that time loses its function, so that you are completely subordinated to your dreams.” (Nieuw Noten)
Chaz’s work has been programmed internationally at festivals and venues such as Gaudeamus, the Moscow State Philharmonic Society, the International Computer Music Conference, the Impuls Festival, Ostrava New Music Days, and the Timucua Arts Foundation. As an engineer, composer, and performer, Chaz’s work has been released on Edition Wandelweiser Records, Slubmusic, New World Records, Fleur du Son, Task Records, Sedimental Records, and Delos. Chaz is an Associate Professor of Digital Arts at Stetson University.
