about

Shaul Dahan is a composer and sound artist based in Jerusalem. His debut release, Seventy Faces, is a musical embodiment of the religious movement of worship. The album comprises five ’scenes’, with each scene arising a different facet of religious perception. Combining autobiographical recordings and generative processes of analog and digital modular synthesis systems, the album explores key moments in the experience of the devoted.

Dinin (Judgment) and Davening (Praying) express the believer's longing towards God and the annihilation of the self in the face of divinity. Ashamnu (Guilt) and Achat Veachat (One and One) express the compulsive repetitiveness and neurotic behavior inherent to the
act of devotion and confession.
Hacoines (The Shepherd) is based on an old recording of the artist memorizing phrases from the Torah as a child, found on a cassette tape in his childhood home. Dahan inserted this memory shard into a Max patch influenced by Steve Reich's idea of phasing, gradually multiplying a single voice into a plurality of textures.
