Elevator Music 5: Daniel Shaw, curated by Juno Zago, invites visitors to step inside an early-1900s refurbished Otis Elevator and experience Shaw’s world: upbeat instrumental music created from unlikely and imaginative sound palettes. At times, the music is aggressive; others, it is sprawling and melodic, yet certainly unlike anything you’ve heard this year.
Daniel Shaw is a New York based multi-instrumentalist who loves to play and create rock and electronic music. Gifted a guitar at the age of four during a Hanukkah celebration and later taking guitar lessons, Shaw learned to play by ear and practiced playing along to the music of his favorite bands, amongst them Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Metallica, and others.
