Geshem

Biography

Geshem is a supergroup made of three of the busiest musicians in the Israeli scene:
Aviv “Sol Monk” Cohen is a virtuoso drummer and a spacey beat maker,
Shuzin is a cross-genre shapeshifting producer, and Yonatan Albalak is one of the busiest guitar and bass players in Israel. In 2015, after years of working on various projects as individuals and collaborating with A-list musicians ( Avishai Cohen, Marina Maximilian, Ester Rada, etc. ) the three have merged their distinctive artistic personas to carry out a fresh musical vision. Geshem’s unique musical style crosses the axis between post rock, IDM and Hip-hop, by which they maneuver moods and colors in their hypnotic concerts. Alongside their original materials, Geshem often take the role of re-interpreters – In 2016 in the Tel Aviv Opera house, they collaborated with the Revolution Orchestra, where they presented groundbreaking electro-orchestral interperations to jazz standards; in 2017 they re-arranged Portishead ‘s live orchestral album, accompanied by the Israeli Chamber Orchestra, they preformed their own spacey version of Gershwin’s “Porgy and Bess” at the 2018 Red Sea Jazz Festival; and in 2025 they collaborated with Meitar Ensemble for a Warp Records tribute show - revisiting some of the label's most popular tunes.
