This week I am excited to share a conversation with the artist and musician Zuriel Waters, who contributed several wonderful clarinet tracks recorded under the Broadway Junction subway overpass to PSO no. 228, Double Talk.
Zuriel Waters was born in 1984 in Philadelphia, PA, and lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Received an MFA in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2010 and a BA in Painting and Electronic Music (Interdisciplinary) from San Diego State University in 2007. Has shown work in group exhibitions throughout New York City at galleries such as Underdonk, Bob's, Regina Rex, CANADA, Tappeto Volante and has recently had solo shows at Left Field Gallery in Los Osos, CA and My Pet Ram in NYC.
He has a show currently up until June 15th at Kathryn Markel Fine Arts in NYC.
After my conversation with Zuriel, we hear our collaborative PSO piece no.228 and a selection of Zuri’s musical experiments including a big bounce of about 15 recordings and a recording from what we are calling Zuri’s Carousel Music Maker a web music project where two HTML audio players cycle randomly through preloaded recorded percussion, lines of horn and electronic soundscapes.
