Adom Olam in Hebrew means Eternal Master. This song is an ancient Hebrew hymn, re-imagined by Avi Adir, a multi-instrumentalist world musician, who together with Karsh Kale - an award winning musician, composer, percussionist - explores the idea of silence in spirituality, and the space between the noise and matter, of saying more with less within the structure of a musical piece, as in real life.
Avi creates an otherworldly musical experience with his fluid and transcendental singing style, punctuated by Karsh’s well-timed and nuanced Tabla beats. The idea that there is more to gain by allowing ourselves to explore the silence within and the space between the noise we create for ourselves, we may yet find ourselves, like a deep breath after a long exhale.
As Avi Adir puts it in a very poetic way,“While we are awake, and in an intention to create, then we have the space. And this space is part of the music, as breath is part of life.”
Described by Billboard Magazine as a "visionary composer and producer", Karsh Kale is known as a pioneer in the world of global fusion. His career has gone through many avatars over the past 20 years as he jumps between the various roles of being a world renowned tabla player, drummer, DJ/ remix artist, vocalist, multi instrumentalist, film composer, as well as a band leader and curator all with equal ease.
Karsh Kale has also developed a reputation as a genre bending collaborator which has led him to work with some of the most renowned artists from around the globe. Be it with his live ensembles, or as a world-renowned producer, Karsh Kale continues to push the boundaries of music to places it hasn’t been as well as continues to be one the most sought after collaborators of his generation.
Having seen and traveled the world Avi Adir has been inspired by its vibration. Loosened from identification to any nation or country, his music arises from the core, an ancient Sufi spirit blends into a divine connection with a deep emotional expression. His forte is to create a genuine experience sharing a fusion of composition and improvisation at the same time.
Conducting into a mystical sphere, a gateway opens and grants to exit the mind entering the path of the soul and the heart. Avi Adir’s majestic usage of authentic voice emphasizes his sensitive assembly. He carries the listener into a celestial realm. Connecting middle-east acoustics far over to the classical east and ancient western roots onwards to the pure channel of existence. A magnificent free flow sound-garden to touch and inspire the audience in their own creativity and musicality builds up as the multi-instrumentalist shares the natural love to sing and dance. Based on a belief that if there would be no color, everything will appear Orange, like Fire, Sun and God.
