about

I created this evocative & comforting 3D sonic journey in response to the recent, devastating killing of my cousins, Shlomi and Shahar, in their home in Israel. Self-produced in my home studio, the proceeds will go to the three surviving children.

The mother shielded their teenage son who then lay trapped under her body: also a tragic mirror of her grandmother’s fate. In addition to honouring their lives, and the importance music was to them, I wish to spread comfort, and to raise money for their three surviving children*.

The title of this track also refers to my own personal journey the last months, going from sudden vocal loss to rehabilitation, exploring the simplicity of vowel sounds and returning to my classical guitar roots.

The image comes from a moment where the sea breeze created a vibration with the strings of my travel guitar, like the sound of the universe was being played for me. It moved me immensely. The binaural recordings of the waves you hear are from this moment.

* All profits from the track will be donated to a Go Fund Me set up to provide a home and future for orphaned Rotem, Shir and Shaked Mathias. You can name your price for the track, or give directly to the fund itself :
