Scott Fields

Scott Fields is an innovative American guitarist and composer known for his boundary-pushing work in avant-garde and experimental music. Based in Chicago, this genre-defying artist has spent decades crafting intricate soundworlds that blur lines between jazz, contemporary classical, and free improvisation. His recent releases like *Seven Deserts* and *What We Talk* (with Stephen Rath) showcase his signature approach – angular melodies collide with textural exploration, delivered with both mathematical precision and spontaneous energy. Fields frequently collaborates with other adventurous musicians, as heard on projects like *Minaret Minuets* and *Scharfefelder*, while solo efforts like *5 Frozen Eggs* reveal his mastery of extended guitar techniques. Whether through composed works or improvisational dialogues, Fields maintains a playful yet rigorous approach that keeps listeners delightfully off-balance.
