Awake / Asleep: the new EP by Itai

The sound fills the room with thick frequencies, that are as organic as they are mechanical, while Itai’s vocals eventually find their way into the mix as if to find a human voice within the machine.

Itai is a multi-instrumentalist and analogue electronic-music composer. Piecing together fragments of moments that otherwise would be forever lost, he uses an analogue modular synthesizer which he has spent countless hours assembling. The result is a musical portal into worlds that disappear as quickly as they form.

In an age where technology has made music into a commodity, Itai tries to capture the ephemeral nature of analogue electronic music by suspending moments that will never form again.

About The EP – Awake / Asleep

Awake / Asleep is both strikingly energetic and subtitle in its value, performing an audio driven transcendental state, taking you to a inner level of consciousness.

The voice of the machine speaks, clearly and direct, you become immersed in a sound pattern world, a new denizen, a living part of the technical subconscious. Obviously, influenced by the masters of the genre, like Kitaro, Tomita and others like them, Itai lends an originality and an essence that makes this work stand out from its predecessors. Unlike some of this artists compatriots, Itai interjects the harmonious Synth with lyrics, verse and chorus that do not distract from the Symphonic, but adds a new dimension, creating a 4D soundscape.

Awake / Asleep  is the next step in understanding the future of music influenced by the Ghost In The Machine, an Ai that is learning to speak in our tongue.

Awake / Asleep attempts to find that elusive place between wakefulness and sleep. As the first song fades into a crescendo, the sound seems to fill the room with thick frequencies, that are as organic as they are mechanical, while Itai’s vocals eventually find their way into the mix as if to find a human voice within the machine.

The album was originally released exclusively on vinyl, to ensure the music was physically delivered to the listener in the most human way. It is now being released digitally for the first time on TruthTable.
