Listen "4: Michael Thurber, bassist, CDZA founder, composer"
Episode Synopsis
This week's episode features bassist, composer, performer, and all around feel good guy Michael Thurber. We had an extremely candid and relaxed conversation about his early musical education, his move to New York, a debilitating injury that forced him to drop out of Juilliard, and ultimately overcoming that obstacle.
Among many other things, Michael is one of the founders of CDZA, a collective that makes experimental music videos. You can see those videos here.
A modern version of Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleopatra" - for which Michael wrote the musical score - is currently being staged at The Public Theater in New York.
