Frank Rosaly

Frank Rosaly is a Chicago-based drummer, composer, and improviser whose work thrives at the intersection of avant-garde jazz, experimental music, and rhythmic exploration. A staple of the city’s vibrant creative music scene, he’s known for his dynamic, textural drumming and genre-blurring projects like *Frank Rosaly’s Todos de Pie*, which fuses Latin American folk traditions with free improvisation. His releases, such as *Cicada Music* and *Malo*, showcase his knack for weaving electronic experimentation into acoustic frameworks, while collaborations with artists like Rob Mazurek and the International Contemporary Ensemble highlight his versatility.

Beyond his own projects, Rosaly is a sought-after collaborator, contributing to works that span post-rock, noise, and contemporary classical realms. Releases like *Tendresse* and *Centering and Displacement* reflect his curiosity for unconventional structures and emotional depth, often balancing chaotic energy with moments of delicate precision. Whether leading a band or elevating others’ visions, Rosaly’s artistry remains rooted in spontaneity and a deep respect for rhythm’s transformative power.
