Over the past year I have been working with Alex Jeffery (AKA Hello Hibernator), producing his songs. Jeffery writes beautiful subtle songs that I really connected to from first listen. We worked together on a full album as part of an MA in creative practice at Goldsmiths University last year (2011). The album consisted of […]

A hero of mine passed away today. Adam Yauch was one third of the Beastie Boys. Definitely one of my first influences getting into music. It’s so sad to hear he passed away from cancer at the age of 48. I saw the Beastie Boys live as a kid in 1995 in Tel Aviv. I […]

Here’s a new track based on a drum loop, and a little story about the process of making it below. I love sound, I keep exploring it, learning more about it everyday, trying to achieve the best sound quality I possibly can with every project I do. Recently, I’ve been working with drummer Oded Kafri […]

Before I begin, What is Spotify? Here’s their ad.     Is the Swedish company Spotify an evil greedy entity, or does it represent the greatest progress in the music industry since the invention of the CD? Here’s how I’ve learned to love it. As a music producer making albums I’m part of this industry and […]

This evening I attended a fascinating lecture by Robert Henke ( Musician/Programmer/Monolake ) and Gerhard Behles ( Co-founder of Ableton). The talk was about the concept of computer music, the challenges, the advantages but also the traps and problems that arise from this new world of technology for music. I will post my thoughts of […]

Recording a grand piano is quite an art in itself. So many techniques, opinions, ideas and contradicting information out there. I was faced by this challenge as part as an EP production for a wonderful duo “Penniless Cove“. The challenge is to capture the piano in the most natural way, but in this case it […]

Take Dat! is a new track ( Free download), made at Musicland Studios in a collaboration between myself and Sabbo, who is a well known DJ and music producer from Tel Aviv. SaBBo visited the studio in January (2012) on his way to a gig in Amsterdam, and we basically had one afternoon to work […]

My weapon of choice lately has been almost exclusively Ableton Live. I still love my pro tools 10 for tracking and editing audio in a robust way with top sound quality. But for quick results, creative flow, easy mangling of samples and keeping everything on the one, nothing beats Ableton Live. It’s just incredible and […]

‘Everything is a remix‘ an independent film in four parts (fourth part just released a few days ago) by Kirby Ferguson. The film explores about how everything we do in art, inventions, innovations and technology is essentially a remix. The first part, which I found most interesting deals with remixing in music. Ferguson treats influences […]

Next month (March 2012) I will record and mix the Piano/Cello duo known as Penniless Cove. They are about to record a new EP to be released this year. Their music ( listen to their last album free ) is quite lyrical, based on piano songs topped with beautiful Cello melodies. Recordings will take place […]
