As part of the Sababit Festival of Electronic Music Culture, an original program evening will be held at the Raizel House of Culture and Art, featuring a lecture by radio personality, DJ, and music journalist Nadav Ravid, “Machine Dance.”
There is no decade like the 1980s for demonstrating the connection between technology and music. Synthesizers, drum machines, and samplers entered recording studios and turned every possible noise into raw material.
Synth-pop, hip-hop, house, and techno emerged from all of these—the new music that seemed written especially for a changing world. The lecture’s protagonists: Depeche Mode, Eurythmics, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Prince, Afrika Bambaataa, De La Soul, Yitzhar Ashdot, Ofra Haza, and Ethnix.
Seated event; unassigned seating.
Screening of the documentary “Bombs on the Way to the End of the World”, followed by a conversation with director Yishai Halpern and DJ Tal Cohen Eloro, one of the veterans of Israel’s trance scene. The screening and conversation will take place at the Raizel House of Culture and Art.
Bombs on the Way to the End of the World (in English: Psychedelic Zion) is an Israeli documentary directed by Yishai Halpern.
The film offers a glimpse into the underground trance culture that emerged in Israel in the 1990s and is considered a cult film among Israel’s trance community.
The film was selected by the prestigious film magazine POV as one of the ten best documentaries made in Israel and was nominated for the Ophir Award for Best Documentary in 2000.
The film presents Israel’s underground trance culture for the first time, in its early days.
Seated event; unassigned seating.
