Z'EV
Z'EV (born Stefan Joel Weisser) was an American text-sound artist and mystic who is perhaps best known for his work as a catacoustic (reflected sound-based) percussionist. Acclaimed as one of the world's best and most original percussionists, Weiser began recording in the late '60s in a handful of psych-out projects. By the late '70s, he took on the Z'ev moniker to explore the "spatial poetics" of the polyrhythmic clamor he had established with his hand-built percussive instruments. His dozens of collaborative projects expanded to include work with John Cage, Glenn Branca, The Hafler Trio, Psychic TV, and Rhythm & Noise
