Introducing SHEMESH.


I am thrilled to introduce you to one of Daniel Schwarzwald’s new projects: SHEMESH.
Sun, in Hebrew.
Recently founded with singer-songwriter and vocalist extraordinaire Shahar Abergel, the band develops their own compositions both in English and Hebrew.
“Run” is a song written and composed by Ms. Abergel.
It seems with Shahar, Daniel has met his match.
But wait. Daniel is a magician: …He always meets his match.

Daniel Schwarzwald.

Daniel presents his project “Dancing with Bach”, here featuring a line-up of amazing musicians:
On Kadosh, on the Oud – David Michaeli: Double Bass – Amir Bar Akiva: Drums.
This concert was filmed and recorded at and by Tammuz House of Music, in Be’er Sheva, Israel.


I am very pleased to be working with Daniel Schwarzwald.
This short little video above will disappear shortly, and be replaced with a final version.
In this video, Daniel is performing with an exceptional lineup and is giving On Kadosh the lead on the Oud. The music played in this show is Daniel’s interpretation of a piece composed by one of the world’s most significant composers.
Can you guess who? (Hint below)
With this great combo, Daniel and his musicians bring their own artistic expression to classical works and make them relevant to contemporary audiences.

Hint: We could consider this show a kind of prelude to Mr. Schwarzwald’s own work, as he – and I mean Daniel – is also a phenomenal composer, arranger, orchestrator and songwriter.

VIRGIL & THE BBs.

Enjoy these tracks from my upcoming and long-awaited first EP (!)


Here above we were recording “Noir et Blanc” dans un espace trèrs particuler.


Above, a photo from that unusual little studio, Bubble Fish where I used to like tracking.
I got to that studio through the most – yet again – unusual story and one of the most intriguing Frenchmen I have ever met, Perceval, whom I had met previously in Costa-Rica.

A Room With a View.

I had the pleasure of working with Daniel Schwarzwald again last Fall, recording a playback track of an arrangement I wrote for Mira Falk’s Jazz choir B-Swingt.
For a moment, we had a new room with a view in Tel Aviv.

The Inimitable Michael Limboski.

Limboski sings Illusionen, Berlin 2015

I met Limboski at a nice little jam session I use to host in Kreuzberg a few years ago.
Strangely, I would say one doesn’t understand Prussian energy applied to music until one sees Limboski perform, however this statement might be put in perspective – or contested – by historians on both sides.
Michał is a one of a kind Polish Wonder. Now signed with Sony Poland.

He is Back.

Eric Pan is back from Brooklyn.
Here is a short sample from his debut album Travel Poems, recorded at the Trixx Studio, Berin, Kreuzberg, 2016. After two successful pre-release concerts in Berlin last Fall, Mr. Pan spent several months in the US, where he performed another Travel Poems show with his favourite NYC musicians. He also toured as a sideman for another artist.
He will be opening the session next week Tuesday 13.3 at the Edelweiss (Berlin, Kreuzberg).

Wiens Perle. Caroline.

Slowly, but surely.
So wie es in Wien gehört.
This is a demo we made in Vienna in 2015 featuring the formidable Caroline.
The song “Gefühle” is also written and composed by Caroline.
I met Caroline in 2004 in Vienna. Back then she didn’t even about her own incredible musical talents. We’ve been collaborating since 2005.

WIEN-2015

De Catalunya, a Berlin.

A great pleasure working with Javier, from Barcelona, who brought really nice songs.
Nir gave it a nice live Schliff with his unique feeling and very free approach to music.

Als ein Engel erschien, mein Klavier segnete, und wieder im Himmel verschwand !

Noa Fort graced us with her new song a couple weeks ago. She blessed that white piano with her playing, and flew away across the ocean back to Brooklyn.
