It’s like whatever tempo or groove you play, it has some sort of feel to it. You can’t really pin it down, but it is that sound that’s in between.

There are also people from places like Libya, Tripoli, and Egypt who came here—Jews from all around the world basically—and a lot of people from Africa. You get this African sound that has also a specific pulse to it. I am not talking about the beat, I am talking about a pulse/1

"There is a very fruitful vibe here in Israel. Everybody is making music all the time and trying to explore. All the people that I work with have two or three projects in addition to what I am working with them on."

@TheRealTzvi It's fixed btw...

[Tzvi @TheRealTzvi]

Today I learned that "Ulpan" in Hebrew is also a recording studio. Not knowing that led to some funny translation in my most recent article. Can I get an LOL?

"Our music is original and for us it is very Israeli. It is something new that is built on all the old traditions of music, but it is new music that is inspired by the Israeli ear, which is that fusion of everything."

"That’s the beauty of the nigun. When you get enough people together and they are all singing, it is super powerful, no matter what its degree of musical perfection."

[Phish Talmud @PhishTalmud]

"All musicians work somewhere in between craft and inspiration. But when you have a moment of inspiration, you have to let it go, because those are the most amazing melodies. They are real. They come out without even your intervention." https://t.co/RdIqQ6MGJ3 @TheIngathering_

"Singing requires no payment, but it requires the investment of one’s own soul, and one’s own heart into it."

[The Ingathering @TheIngathering_]

"Jewish life was seen largely as a passive activity. You come and you watch somebody else do something at you. Singing is the opposite of passive." /1

[The Ingathering @TheIngathering_]

It requires you to enter the picture, and that is deeply uncomfortable for a Jewish community that largely prefers—especially in those generations—largely prefer to pay somebody else to do things for them."
