Collaborations
Other Projects
Project “Painting Sounds” – Trio with Shai Cohen (reeds, piano)
Project “Pictures at an Exhibition” – Trio with Anton Dressler (clarinets, live electronics)
The project features various kinds of musical and theatrical juxtapositions, bringing together such different cultural layers as traditional Sephardic chants and classical music, free improvisation and live-electronics, visual arts and theater. As a leitmotif the program uses the spirit of Mussorgsky`s idea of a walk among different pictures and elaborating on them.
