Voices and Electronics

An evening of new vocal works, bearing witness to mythical worlds and encounters with the here and now. Three artists, graduates of Musrara’s Department of New Music, create a musical space of wandering, ruins and revelations.

Or Aloni, Or Mai and Yaara Haim position themselves along the spectrum between emerging vocal spaces and contemporary songwriting. Each offers a different interpretation of the encounter between the human voice and electricity through processing, duplication, multiplicity of voices, transformation, dismantling, and reassembly.

Ruins / Or Aloni

Anecdotes from a world falling into ruin, myths of an imagined world. Or Aloni sings as a witness to stories that have never happened, yet happen all the time. The live, singing voice breaks apart, multiplies and changes shape, resisting the unity of a single narrator.

Or Aloni is a singer, creator, and sound artist, a graduate of the Department of New Music (2024) and the Artistic Research Program at Musrara School (2025). He is a member of the Gei Ben Hinnom Choir, the Jerusalem Vocal Consort, and the Skin and Bones ensemble. His works have been presented at the Jerusalem Arts Festival and Musrara Mix (2023).

Paths / Or Mai

Or Mai writes and reveals a letter of love and farewell, perhaps of longing, to the wind, the earth, and everything that stirred around her.

Or Mai is a graduate of Musrara’s Department of New Music. She explores the encounter between voice and live instruments, electronics, and the digital world. She creates through her solo project “Teffer” (“Seam”), in a duo with Ruth Wieder-Magan, and in other ensembles.

Softer Soul / Yaara Haim

Yaara Haim along with her guitar and computer to create work that blends ambient music and experimental pop: a moment in time when quiet intensity envelops the space in a dreamlike atmosphere.

Yaara Haim is a vocalist, DJ, and sound artist. In recent years, she has deconstructed and reassembled fragments of vinyl records, transforming them into endless loops and soundscapes. In her live performances, she uses electronics to create meditative, intimate soundscapes, weaving her voice into delicate textures.
