 biography z'ev
Since the 1970’s I worked in a variety of media and was one of the founders of the cultural movement now known as ‘Industrial’.
I was born in 1951 in Los Angeles and began playing with percussion at 3. I built my first 'drum set' at 6, with formal study of percussion beginning at 8. Professional performances begin when I was 12. At that time I also began to study the plastic arts and poetry.
1969-70 I attended California Institute of the Arts (Villa Cabrini campus) enrolled in both the Ethnomusicology and Critical Studies Departments.
I Studied the following percussion forms:
EWE (Ghana) Drumming, Song and Dance with Seth and Alfred Ladzekpo
Balinese Gamelan with Robert Brown
Tala (Southern Indian Rhythmic structure) with Hari Har Rao
In Critical Studies I studied with:
Visual and Sound Poetries with Emmett Williams
Performance Technique and Poetry for Theatre with Sue-Ellen Case
Multi-Media Theory and Practice with a variety of FLUXUS artists Alison Knowles, Jackson MacLow
have currently performed my solo musics in over 80 cities in 19 countries. Between 1977 and the present I have had 36 releases in all forms of media from books to cassette tapes to flexi-discs to CDs.
