Those walks in the wadi of my childhood, the river and caves of the Natufians, are present in my life and art just as Bill Dixon and Sunny Murray and the many paths they showed me into the world of sound. Music for me is everything that is unexplainable and yet undoubtly beautiful in this life. It's ways and manifestations in the sound world are infinetly diverse. Wether desgined carefully, fast or slow, or being played in the NOW. The feeling is of that same primer creativity.
The paths or those walks are still being explored as the story unfoldes..

Recent months were challenging on many levels but as the social isolation period grew longer different long distance collaborations started emerging. In the next few weeks I will add several videos from this period to the website . First one, inspired by the polyphonic music of the Pygmies is already available. The music was made in collaboration with my friends Shay Hazan and Nir Sabag and the video was made by my brother, Ariel Taubenfeld.
