Those of you who “frequently listen” to domestic alternative FM have probably come across a rather psychedelic and completely radio radio. “My everything”. Behind him is Kutiman, what is the specific track from his recording Open he took it with him Dekel.

Of course the world Ophir Kutiel he hails from Israel and has almost two decades in artistic matters, which he approaches in the way he expresses it every time. And who can become especially resourceful. After all, for the project that made him widely known “Through you” it scans YouTube to find parts of existing videos that can be combined to create a new video/track.

Kutiman works not only with sound, but also with images, not only because of the aforementioned project, but also because he tried his luck as a video artist. In 2023, he follows his sixth record but also starts a brand new one: fatherhood. As he himself says, now Every day is a different story for him..

“Maybe I should just send him the link so he can listen. I never know how to describe my music in words. But if I had to, I’d say it’s a slightly psychedelic neo-soul album with a few lyrical tracks and instrumentals.

“It’s always nice to see Dekel in the studio. We drink beer, I play him a few tracks, and then he takes out a notebook and writes a new beautiful track in an hour. I love what he does and he loves what I do. We’re having a great time together.

“It’s just what I love to do in my life.

– Hard to say. I think everything that has an emotional impact on me affects my creativity. I get asked this a lot, and I’m not quite sure what the answer is yet.

– Yes, sure. Usually I just let it go. It’s tiring, but it comes and goes. I find it pointless to fight him. Fortunately, this does not happen too much.

“I don’t really think about it. I guess I’m just looking for something that affects me emotionally. With music I do it with my ears, and with images I do it with my eyes.

Yes, basically the success of Thru You caused me the biggest “writer’s block” I’ve ever had. It was hard to find my true creativity after the amazing feedback I received. I learned that success can really inspire me to do more, but it can also freeze me if I’m not honest with myself.

“I think we all have a close relationship with the internet today, whether we like it or not. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to learn so many things and have access to so many wonderful tools that I could not even dream of as a child. But at the same time, we consume too much junk. I think it has its good and bad sides, like many things in life.

– A month ago, in the last twenty years, my typical day was like this: I woke up (at some point) and went straight to the studio. At some point I would eat something (usually in the studio while I was working) and go to bed when I was too tired. A month ago I had my first child and it changed my life. Now every day is a different story.

“I don’t believe I’d be here today if I hadn’t taken the risk. I think it’s inevitable if you want to be an artist. I mean, even saving money to buy a guitar is a risk if you don’t have money. Luckily for me, I am where I am. hahaha

“Open” by Kutiman is produced by Kartel Music Group with the support of The Hubsters.
