Shad Agnon
Audio/Video duo comprised of sound and media artists Amir Bolzman, 26, and VJ and visual artist Moran Gutman, 32.
The duo researches connections between analog, digital sound, images and which meanings can be produced from the combinations thereof.
The performance uses a No-Input mixer generating sounds and music from abstract noise, and from heavy industrial music to psychedelic Goa trance. The No-Input mixer sends electrical signals to a computer running a MAX/MSP patch that translates the sound into visual textures. The VJ then mixes layers of broken images and video such as photographs, slides riddled with dust, scratches, textures and noise, both analog and digital.
The piece deals with communication problems, represented through the image and sound connect and disconnect.

Israel Bright - Home Themed Songs
A special gig by Israel Bright and his effective trio for the Musrara Mix festival. For the first time they will bring to the stage a cross section from all albums and from all periods. Songs that are themed about the subject of home - a leitmotif in Bright’s work. Home - not only walls, but also a place in your heart, a kind of bond, a vision of peace and calm. “A man needs a home” - that is true, and everyone is “on the way home” with hopes that all will be well.
