Dov Waterman
Dov's relationship to the piano has been long and multi faceted.
The piano for him has been a primary vehicle of expression. From performing and composing on the piano to a career as a professional piano tuner, Dov lives and breathes the instrument on every level imaginable.
Far from just being a pianist Dov has mastered music and instruments from many different cultures. Classical music, music of the Middle East and Eastern Europe, alongside contemporary music production have all shaped his individual sound.
Dov's sensitivity and intuitive style have drawn the attention of a number of notable performers, composers and film makers and have led to a number of successful collaborations. He has performed and toured with BBC World Music Award winners MOMO, a group that has redefined the face of contemporary North African music. Dov has also Co- written and produced music with artists such as Indie Music Award nominated Naama Hillman and fellow composer and BAFTA Juror Rhett Brewer.
More recently film has exposed Dov's multi-levelled abilities. Numerous films and documentaries bear his trademark sound as composer, performer and sound designer. Other composers including Frank Ilfman have benefitted from Dov's skills on soundtracks including Vasermil by Mushon Salmona.
Dov has also recently completed the score for the film Hatemail by Frazer Churchill, most noted for his visual work on Children of Men and Love In The Time Of Cholera.
Dov studied formally at the Rubin Academy in Jerusalm and has lived and worked in London for the past decade. The culture clash of Israel and the multi culturalism of London have both helped to define Dov's artistic sensibility.
He performs regularly in London as one half of eclectic Cabaret duo Hotel De Ville.
