Interest in music dates back to the 1970s; began collecting synthesizers in Tel Aviv in 1972. Conscripted into the 1973 Yom Kippur War, an experience the reviewer says marked him psychologically. Developed minimalist 'Alpha Mood' compositions intended to engage biofeedback/alpha-wave states. Original limited edition (500 copies) was distributed in Tel Aviv; recordings were rediscovered and reissued by Finders Keepers in 2015. Influences noted: Tangerine Dream, Philip Glass, and regional Middle Eastern sounds.
