Brian Weitz, better known as Geologist from Animal Collective, is, like the other members of that band, a voracious listener of music from a huge span of eras, cultures, and geographical locations. As can be heard in both his contributions to that band as well as his solo work, it’s all left a mark, particularly in his live performances on hurdy-gurdy, which has roots in music from multiple cultures and points in history. A Philadelphia native who also has Baltimore roots, Weitz currently resides in Washington, DC, and his newest release with Doug Shaw, A Shaw Deal, is out now on Drag City. On this episode, hear how songs by Sundowners, Fennesz, and Keiji Haino influenced him as an artist.
