I finally recorded my blues song about the lovely Cohava (starlet as we would call her in english). the song was recorded with the great guitarist Yaron ben Ami and with the help of Itiel our lovely sound technician who recorded the song on REAL ANALOG TAPES! yeay..
this is not the final version but I like it for now. :)
I have to admit the song's text it quite harsh, so if you're either very delicate or conservative (or you're really happy and don't want to ruin your good mood) I would consider not listening to it. (but go ahead- do something extraordinary for a change!)
hope you like it!

NEW SONGS! joy to the world.
first, a new song in english called peaces of mind
(no, this is not a typo).
AND NOW for something completely different
and indeed highly unusual - A COVER!
yes my friends, I have done the undoable (till now)
I actually found a song worth covering (too many of those but this one is kind'a special).
I present to you - my own humps!
(every girl should have ones).
once again the hard sound-work was done by the lovely Hilla Weisz (did you see her new site that I MADE for her already?!?!)
..................................................

a new version of "fool" also got a different name now:
"suffer in love". well, it's still minimalistic but now it sounds better. TODA RABA to Hilla Weisz for helping me and doing all the recording work.
..................................................

SO.. some new songs! this time - LOVE songs. amzaing.
as usual- demo-lo-fi-mp3recorder-soundquality
but hey - what can I do?
# in english, featuring Ziv Moran on the guitar: "he's a".
# onther english one is "fool".
# and in hebrew, a tribute to some other love songs.. "mecheva" (a.k.a: ma yafu).
enjoy!
..................................................

hello there!
after a LONG while of silence, I finally realized I can upload new stuff using my new mp3 player. the recording quality is crap but its better than nothing.
so here are 2 nameless poems I composed:
# the first one is by Chaviva Pdaya. here are the lyrics (hebrew only -sorry!).
# the second one is by zelda. here are its' lyrics.
enjoy.
..................................................

I realized recently that a video I made for one of my old songs is not linked in the new version of the site. so here it is - linked..
..................................................

well.. the new harvest is here..(click for the old stuff)
these are 5 new songs I recorded on january 2005.
(took me a while to upload..)
..................................................
download them all at once!! (15 MB zipfile)
or one at a time: dreams to take away, sheket,
teivat zichronot, haleluja, shir leaba.
..................................................

technical info:
:: the songs were recorded on 2 days in my small x:class:studio - and it sounds like that. :)

:: except "teivat zichronot", where I did 2 takes, all were made in one take for the guitar and one take for the vocal (needless to say I played both).

:: I have a stuffed nose for about 90% of the time.
you can hear that. :(
but its getting better. :)

:: if it wasn't clear before: I wrote all songs (lyrics and music)
..................................................

personal info:
"shir leaba" (meaning "song for dad") is (hmm..) a song
I wrote for my dad, who is on a very long and tiring healing process. Its a personal song which I wrote a day before the recordings and performed for the first time as I was recording it, but I like how it turned out, so I'm uploading it as well.
(aba I love you!)
..................................................

THANKYOUs:
THANK GOD for heike who helped me SO MUCH
I can't express it in words, {also having the brilliant idea to bring that fancy tiny violin mike}

THANK YOU HEIKE!! I LOVE YOU!
..................................................
{also thank you to all people I love} ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

as always, feedback is welcomed.. writeto:ME

..................................................
p.s.{there's more where that came from, I just had very little time to finish it, so not all songs were recorded and not all recorded songs sounded good..} I hope nextime will be better anyway.

a bit about this cd called osF (original cd text):
osF
(pronounced like and deriving from the hebrew word 'osef' which means collection and/or compilation) is a hand made CD. except for the computer with which I recorded the songs and created a few sounds, it is an analog compilation composed for the great sweet (analog) 'casiotone 403' synthesizer and shira (me) :) I composed all songs wrote all lyrics (soon to be uploaded) played all instruments (well.. - pushed all buttons in order for it to sound like different instruments), recorded, mastered (hmm.. theres a reason why this cd is called the LOW-TECH compilation) and produced everything.
and sang. of course:)
osF was created in the sweet little soundstudio of my uni class in vienna over the period of the last 3 months (more or less) in which me myself I and the 403 spent sleepless nights for your (and mostly our) musical pleasure. it was my oasis in the desert of machines which is my classpace.. lots of the songs are 'siblingsongs' - cut from the same sessions. the one exception (sound and concept wise) is someoneday which is a not-to-be-recognized version of the gershwins 'the man I love'. someoneday ('sod') also has a video (though I like the song more, to be honest). 'sh' also has a video. this was all a part of my semester presentation btw. ok - time for acknowledgements - I would like to sincerely thank: God, my family, heike , and thomas felder for making it possible for me to sing and record; and for christian for his beloved casiotone. shalom uvracha, liebe:shira
