Tonight we attended the first session within the second day of events Pecha Kucha In the 17th year in Israel, which took place at the Culture Hall in Tel Aviv, I assume that you know what it is about, and if not, then please contactWikipedia or to the project site in its local version. We usually come to the annual event in order to capture the musical pieces for you and that’s what we did this year as well.

In any case, after ten diverse exhibitors in a variety of different adventures, some in colors that take their wisdom from the war that fell upon us on the eve of Simchat Torah on that black Sabbath 7.10, some are projects that live in their own right regardless of the war and it’s good that there are still things like this in our world despite everything. It is worth noting the collaboration of the musician Yonatan Daskal with the lighting designer Muhammad Abu Salama, who cast a concert of lighting and the work of keyboards and knobs into a common and integrated live track as a model for working together, associations that throw the listener and the viewer to other places…

The last segment of the event was entirely the work of Yikki Gani, the keyboardist of the rock band Roquefort, who sat for many hours with artificial intelligence platforms such as GIFT chat and others and cast the song “The Anger” originally written by Tal Gordon and composed by Amir Zorf as part of Shiri The debut album of the Roquefort band which was published in 1991 – “Butterfly Net”. The song was written in the male voice even though its words were written by Tal Gordon and according to her this was due to the fact that she herself was influenced quite a bit by male producers.

The song received about 30 performances and cover versions by various Hebrew artists and was included in ten different albums. Additional versions of the song in foreign languages were also performed. Among the artists who performed the song Pa Va Shem are Rami Kleinstein, the Marionette Soul band, Aviram Kinan, Reot Yehudai and Amiram Eini, Eldad Guetta, Gili Reichenthal and Ronit Shahar, the Alon Hillel Trio, Sharon Haziz Orna Detz and Michal Amdorski, Shimon Gershon and Meli Levy.
The song was even translated into the English language and several performances in this language. From here it becomes the highlight of the Pecha Kocha events this week.

When performed in the English language into the sound files sampled from the singing voices of several artists and musicians who are no longer with us. This is how we got to hear David Bowie, Elvis Presley, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Freddie Mercury, Chris Cornell, Prince, Frank Zappa, James Marshall Hendrix, even Sir Charles Spencer “Charlie” Chaplin was harnessed to take part in the song not to mention Janis Joplin Tina Turner who brought the final roar with them we find the drummer Yotam Haim who was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists and found his death in tragic circumstances When the IDF recognized him along with other abductees as terrorists and shot them to death. This new work is called – Playing with the dead 2 and it was just fantastic and scary in equal measure. Yaki signed it with the statement – “The work will never be complete until everyone returns Back to”
