GUY MOSES / ROLECreating Artist · Music Producer · Mixing Engineer
Ptakim ("Notes") is an intimate concept album by producer Guy Moses, released for the one-year anniversary of October 7th. It features 17 participants, including singers, rappers, authors, and actors, who share personal post-October 7th reflections ("notes") set to cinematic, spoken-word soundscapes to reflect a shared human experience through individual perspectives.
Participants: Alon Aboutboul, Girafot's Gilad Kahana, Jenny Penkin, Etgar Keret, Keren Mor, Menashe Noy, Uri Gavriel, Mika Hary, Arik Eber, Omer Moskovich, Noam Helfer, Gil Ron Shama, Yitzhak Ventura, Sharon Ben-Tovim (BENTO), Nitzan Eisenberg, Rami Yulzari, Keren Kagarlitsky.
Guy shares: "Out of the identity crisis I experienced as an artist at the beginning of the war, it was hard for me to think about creating a song or anything with a standard structure while everything around was far from standard. I was drawn to creating short romances with various artists and generating a variety that showcases the human experience emerging from this period of crisis we are all experiencing together, in broad shades, sometimes similar, sometimes vastly different. Working with these texts pulled me into a deep emotional exploration of my own expression and identity as a creator."
The album "Notes" was released on the anniversary of the October 7th events and was accompanied by a special live show as part of the Jerusalem Arts Festival on November 12, 2024, at the "Beit Ha'am" Auditorium in Jerusalem.
In the performance, the 'notes' came to life on stage, with visual elements joining the musical experience to bring each note into the physical space.
