ZAchary caputo

chicago based sound artist + Audio engineer

I’m a self-taught sound artist, audio engineer, multi-instrumentalist, and generally abnormal presence. Usually busy swimming around in my imagination or fighting off panic attacks. Born in 1995, I have been using audio as an artistic medium of expression since 2008, and released my first album at the age of 13. I’ve been 100% independent since then, even running my own label, Static Switch Records, for those who (like me) have a hard time finding commercial avenues for their expression.


Many years, many genres, and many albums later, I’m still a steadfast believer in the medium of sound being as deserving of artistic revere as any other medium. I’d love to see sound art exhibits in museums become the norm.

Who?

Where?

I’m born & based in Chicago.

My personal projects span across numerous genres, running the gamut from electronic to acoustic, metal to modern classical, radio plays to industrial noise.

As an audio engineer, my work spans similar breadths, and can be seen in more detail below.

WHAT?

Who knows at this point? I’ve just felt drawn to sound for as long as I can recall. It’s my preferred method of expression and communication. Talking is hard.

WHY?

Selected Discography

Selected Post-Production Work

Quick Note: What I call “post-production” is what is generally referred to as “mastering”.
I have changed my personal vocabulary in this sense due to the term “mastering” being mired in institutional racism.
