MAX ZT

Hammered Dulcimer

New York's celebrated Max ZT (House of Waters), and Tokyo/Black Country’s lauded Dan Whitehouse combine their inventive energy to present their debut album Ten Steps. ZT, the hammered dulcimer player (compared to Hendrix) and the ever-regenerating Whitehouse, use spoken word and virtuoso playing to create impactful pieces with a belief in the healing power of music at its core.

The collection Ten Steps (to be released on vinyl and all digital platforms on September 8th) shows how effectively they have fed off ach other’s unique creativity to deliver stunning recordings plus a live UK tour (in October) promising to deliver captivating, immersive performances.

I am thrilled to share the new @houseofwaters album, The Improv Sessions—a collection of 8 raw, unedited improvisations. No slicing, no cosmetic touch-ups—just pure moments captured live in the studio. These recordings come from the same session as our Grammy-nominated album #OnBecoming.
During the process, we recorded 15 improvisations between the composed tracks, serving as punctuation to reset our mindset and spark fresh, unexpected ideas.

#theimprovsessions is now available on all streaming platforms! Physical CDs are exclusively available in Japan, but we have a limited number of copies here in the U.S., which you can grab at our upcoming show at @theiridium NYC on November 7th. Don’t miss out!
