If you've never heard the sound of a saw being played it is unmistakable. Think a large wood saw with the teeth filed off and played with a bow like a violin or cello. Imagine my surprise coming across someone playing a saw in the Union Square subway station. I was headed to Union Square Park and I as soon as I hit the platform I heard the hauntingly beautiful sound that a saw makes. I almost couldn't believe my eyes when I first laid eyes on Natalia @SawLady Paruz. While I have seen one saw played in this style before, I had never seen anyone with the handle on the end of the blade, that gave Natalia more control of the sound. Enjoy one of the most unique performances I've captured and make sure to be on the lookout for Natalia around the NYC Subway system! She is an official artist with Music Under New York (MUNY) which is a program run by the MTA Arts & Design program. Artist must apply, be accepted, and then are scheduled to perform at certain locations and times.
