INSTRUMENTHEAD

A project five years in the making with over 150 musicians to date, INSTRUMENTHEAD is a photographic series created by professional photographer Michael Weintrob to tell the story of the musicians in a surrealistic style without showing their faces.

Artists from all walks of the music industry – jazz, rock, pop and more – have participated in the Instrumenthead project, including: Bootsy Collins (James Brown, P-Funk), Mickey Hart (Grateful Dead), King Sunny Ade, Tina Weymouth (Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club), Zakir Hussain (Shakti, Masters of Percussion), Lenny White (Miles Davis, Return to Forever), Bill Summers (Herbie Hancock and The Head Hunters), Derek Trucks (Allman Brothers Band), Peter Asher, and many more.

“I want to turn people on to the incredible musicians I have come to know and respect,” says Weintrob about the project. “I am humbled by the number of talented artists/musicians that have participated in the project to date; the response has been incredible.”

Weintrob has taken this project on the road, shooting portraits at legendary venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver, Preservation Hall and Tipitinas in New Orleans, and Mama Rosas Blues Club in Chicago.

The project will culminate as a traveling exhibition and coffee table book including a who’s who of modern musicians.
