MARISSA DEITZ
I’m a composer and multi-instrumentalist in Oakland CA who writes about small tactile details and immense experiences.
I write, record and perform songs under the name Sucker Crush, and play cello and sing in the band Fieldress. Sucker Crush’s new EP Echoqualia released on April 18th.
I compose electroacoustic and contemporary chamber music as a way of listening deeply, and inviting others to do the same.
I’ve been facilitating a songwriting community / accountability group called Music Every Week for the past five years, which has grown into a flourishing resource for fellow soundmakers.
I hold an MFA in Experimental Music & Recording Media from Mills College and a Bachelor of Music in Music Composition from Columbia College Chicago.
