DIGITAL with Echo | Opening act: Avizohar 

Art Cube Artists’ Studios rooftop, 26 HaUman Street

The Mixer’s opening act goes digital to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Harama online magazine

Manofim’s opening night and Harama ten-year celebrations will be launched by the multidisciplinary artist Itzik Gil Avizohar with his solo project Watershed, a debut album released by the label Entr’acte. A personal diary, a travelog that documents polarized moments of mixed feelings and states of consciousness that flow into a genre-crossing sonoric psychedelia.

In a pop-up studio, Avizohar will search for the balance between electronic and acoustic, noise and ambient, and between improvisation and the preplanned. Using a sequence of sound generators and processors, he will orchestrate a musical story and take the audience on a journey through rich dimensions and deceptive stories.

For the main show, singer and producer Echo will replace the snare and cymbals with electronic drums and a computer. Accompanied by a phenomenal musical ensemble, the drums will give stylish beats, the basses will be plump, the sound will be juicy, and one single Echo will hover above it all. 

A phenomenon that came into our lives six years ago, Echo quickly became one of the top singers-performers the local scene has ever seen. Surfing good frequencies, Echo comes to blow the roof off the party with a live show bursting with energies and that will take you to higher planes.

The time has come to go back, to shift from the digital world to the analog world. To sail among countless chance musical moments and clear and measured technological moments. Back to the future.

The social world is moving towards, or perhaps reverting to, fragmentation into communities. Anyone can join a virtual community and find their place in it, while in real life, we hardly every meet anyone around us.

As its name suggests, The Mixer allows us to connect and reorganize the things that matter most, as we would like to see them happen. This year in Jerusalem, with its many communities and identities, with the hottest local music and freshest international music we’ll try to translate what is happening online to the real world, connect between remote connections and personal connections and bring artists together their audience.

The Mixer will guide us through the ins and outs of electronic music with all the possible transformers towards pitches of soul music to red-hot local cassette music. In the hope that we will leave the online virtual community for a human encounter of the closest kind.
