BATZION NEWS




14/01/23 New inspiration, new sounds, stay tuned... 6/12/22 I'm a Futuristic Israelite and this is a small A/V set I did last night. 6/12/22 Small Electronic Torah A/V set 24/10/22 A glimpse of a music video in progress... made with vintage analog photography gear. 24/10/22 An analog ode to Tel Aviv. Work in Progress. 20/09/22 I’m Batzion. Music producer, video artist, & graphic designer. I grew up in France and Canada, lived and studied in the UK, then fell in love with Tel Aviv, and I have recently settled in the intense lights of Jerusalem, where my thoughts are clearer and my soul is cleaner. When I arrived in Israel 15 years ago, my soul quickly got drawn to the Torah, which I hadn’t really been aware of before that, as an assimilated Jew, and I finally got all the answers to the questions that had been bugging me and depressing me since childhood. Now all I want is to share my discoveries through music and art. 14/09/22 You never know where a lil' late night session will take you to... The artist in action... My new mix is fresh off the (virtual) decks! A night-time, dimension-floating, time-travelling mix of carefully curated electronic, beat-rich and sometime jazzy sounds straight from Paris and London... Listen here My magical spaceship setup in the Sukkah! Surprise double air-travel-themed music video drop! From my “Odd Tropic” EP, “Departure Gate” celebrates in extra-lofi vintage airline adverts. Click to watch. New audio video poem "I AM HERE". Click to watch Here it is! I’m very proud to announce my very first EP “Odd Tropic” on Visible Sounds, a collection of four tracks crafted with love and care over the past couple of years... Thank you G.OD for helping me make it happen! Click to purchase on Bandcamp. Surprise double air-travel-themed music video drop! From my “Odd Tropic” EP, “Colour of Clouds” is an aural depiction of the trippy feelings one gets while reaching high altitudes, and an ode to travel home videos. Click to watch. With sonic influences from Tel Aviv, London, Jerusalem and Paris, this is my warm and eclectic DJ mix of smooth grooves and future sounds that I’ve just uploaded to Mixcloud. Click to listen. "Odd Tropic" EP tracklist. New, glitchy, chromalicious image making perhaps for a future music video... The Ableton Push is an invaluable part of my setup. I use it to create beats and dicover new sounds, but also as a clip launcher when used live. Who's that girl?! Is Batzion a mystery? My “LushCity” mixtape dropped today! An experimental mix of lush beats and cosmic synths... Click to check it out on Bandcamp. My new baby has joined the synth harem... Before the sounds, it's simply a beautiful object. It sounds amazing too, and will surely become a modern classic drum machine. 90s Tokyo, neon colours, and vintage electronics for new track and new music video “Grey Neon Rain”. It was made on an OP1 synth, on a very rainy and grey Tel Aviv day, when I was working in an office, a couple of years ago. The office was empty, everyone had gone home, I had nothing to do, not even a photocopy, and I was dreaming of travelling to Tokyo. This track came out of this, very quickly, and I left for Tokyo a few weeks later! Full video upon clicking.. If you hadn't noticed yet, I love Tel Aviv, and I love its palmtrees. New synth love. My music-making always starts with looking for and playing with new interesting sounds, and seeing where they will take me to, and if they will end up forming a full, new track. My kinda dreamscape... The palmtrees of Tel Aviv are always an inspiration.
