The composers of electronic music known
around the world as Bemet have released their self-titled EP,
“Bemet.” The extended-play record contains five original tracks
for an approximate total listening time of 15 minutes. It has been
proudly published on the InchPerSecond Records independent music
label, entirely without financial support from the corporate music
industry. Innovative, colorful, infinitely danceable and alive with
sonic textures, “Bemet” by Bemet is the latest EDM record to
prove that Israel's electronic music culture produces some of the
best in the world.
Rather than naming names, Bemet cite as
main artistic influences whole categories of music, including rock,
jazz, psychedelia and experimental music, but their actual style
belongs to more specific modern categories such as bass music,
drum-&-bass, and breaks. The five tracks offered on “Bemet”
showcase them as an act which utilizes elements of each to elicit
various effects. Their aggressive overtones and tribal, yet
sophisticated drums are akin to those found in rock and jazz,
respectively. Their opening intro track, “Saboye,” is both
psychedelic and experimental in nature, a fitting primer for the rest
of the record. They are known in Israel and abroad as a vivifying
live performance group.
Bemet are Hod Moshonov and Amir
Bresler, composers who blend acoustic and electronic instrumentation
for a top-shelf sound that has been turning heads internationally.
Prior to Bemet's official formation in 2013, both Moshonov and
Bresler enjoyed years of success as solo artists respectively. Amir
Bresler toured the world with famous bassist, singer and composer
Avishai Cohen, and has shared the stage with such talents as Daniel
Zamir, Alon Olearchick and Shlomo Gronich. Hod Mosohonov, a widely
respected composer in the Israeli electronica underground, himself,
has collaborated with artists including Yossi Fine, Terri Lyne
Carrington, Matti Caspi, and others.
Bemet's official bio describes them as
having together “developed a language based primarily on rhythms,
melodies and harmonies,” and an “open sense of humor.” “They
combine their personal interpretations and thus form an honest and
touching statement out of true, modern music,” it states. Bemet
have already collaborated with such names as Laroz, MC Rebel Sun and
Ruslan Sirota.
“Bemet” by Bemet is available
online worldwide. Get in early.
