about

Yoni Battat and Zach Mayer began meeting for social-distanced jams in Boston's Larz Anderson Park during COVID. Over the years, they developed a true musical bond, starting each session with a deep and boundless improvisation. As their collaboration deepened, the two began writing tunes for each other, experimenting with open-ended arrangements that blur the lines between composition and improvisation.

This partnership continued as the two moved to Jerusalem for 10 months. Here, they began performing live, bringing audiences into their magical world of spontaneity, ecstasy, and humor, where no one can predict what will happen, including the musicians. Ultimately, this developed into their first album which aims to capture the spirit of possibility and imagination that brings their music to life.

___

We'd like to thank our incredibly supportive temporary community in Jerusalem that held us and witnessed us in this important stage of our musical growth. We'd also like to thank our partners Leah Carnow and Eliana Willis, whose love and energy is inseparable from the music that we bring into the world.
