Z'ev - The Sapphire Nature [CD]

One of the world's premier noise percussionists and a learned scholar of Kabbalah, Torah and Talmud, Z'ev has been a vital force in the downtown scene since the late 1970s. In addition to his collaborations with Glenn Branca, Rudolph Grey and his fascinating solo work, Z'ev is also a prolific writer and musical thinker. He has written on subjects ranging from music composition, ritual performance and has also translated several esoteric Tibetan and Hebrew texts into English. His latest study is Metaphonics, the spiritual in sound, and The Sapphire Nature is his first musical creation based on these principles. Accompanied by 54 pages of text in both English and Hebrew (in PDF files), the music is an atmospheric and hypnotic symphony of bangs, clangs and howls in the night.
