Rodney Waterman, Musician

Rodney Waterman

“I love playing the recorder in beautiful acoustic environments. I enjoy the sensation of projecting music in performance and connecting with an audience. I like to explore the subtle relationship between body, soul, breath, instrument, sound, silence and space. I love collaborating with other musicians. My repertoire is eclectic, with a particular interest in improvisation. I enjoy exploring the recorder’s expressive possibilities”.
