House of Waters

Nominated for the Best Contemporary Instrumental album at the 2024 GRAMMY awards, House of Waters is at the forefront of musical innovation. With their GroundUp Music recording, On Becoming, Max ZT and Moto Fukushima are joined by first-call accompanists: drummer Antonio Sanchez, guitarist Mike Stern, and vocalist Priya Darshini. “There are no musical boundaries,” says hammered dulcimer virtuoso, Max ZT, ”we incorporate elements of world, jazz, indie rock, and classical music creating our own unique sound.” Moto Fukushima, adds, “we strive for openness married to accessibility.” House of Waters has scored an Emmy- winning documentary (ESPN), and recently re-scored three French Dadaist-Era silent films in partnership with Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas. They have received the South Arts Jazz Road Grant and have an extensive touring history around the world with label mates, Snarky Puppy.
