    Artifice and nature intersect in «TEL AVIV FLORA & FAUNA», Tom Soloveitzik’s exploration of the ambiguous territory between musical composition, the built environment, and the natural world. This release includes a PDF of Soloveitzik’s score, which deftly integrates field recording with structured improvisation and a precise attention to geographic specificity; a recording of the piece by Soloveitzik (tenor saxophone), Orr Sinay (double bass), Yoni Niv (crotales), Shaul Kohn (acoustic guitar), and Haggai Fershtman (cymbals); and a PDF document in which Soloveitzik’s densely poetic reflections on his surroundings are richly illustrated by the photography of Valery Bolotin. Together, they give a portrait of Tel Aviv’s distinctive conflation of the organic and the artificial. The complete release is here presented on a limited-edition USB flash drive.

about

The idea for Tel-Aviv Flora & Fauna started developing from remnants, debris, and other everyday mutations that I found around me, in my daily surroundings here in Tel Aviv, in the intersection between urban life and nature. I first framed them in the visual realm and then moved on, exploring ways to communicate them via sound. All the instruments in this piece (except the saxophone) — guitar, crotales, contrabass and cymbals — were played using a bow. During our session in the studio, the outside surroundings of southern Tel Aviv were recorded from the rooftop above us and were later used as additional sound material.
--Tom Soloveitzik
