DIY Sessions: Zohara Live in the Studio
There is nothing quite like the combination of a haunting voice, thought provoking lyrics, and a great sense of musical adventure. Zohara Niddam masterfully uses the computer as a piano to create her beautiful songs, soon to be released in her debut album. Moments before she becomes huge in the indie scene, she chats with TLV1’s Nitzan Pincu about aspiring to perfection and recording in a home studio, and performs two songs live in the studio.

Gorgeous and gritty beats, not words
Drummer Aviv Cohen aka Sol Monk combines jazz, electronica, soul and hip hop with some killer beats. His album Beats Not Words, which was produced by Rejoicer on the label Raw Tapes, came out a few months ago to rave reviews. Now it's out on vinyl. TLV1 Producer/Correspondent Shoshi Shmuluvitz caught up with Sol Monk and got the story behind the beats.

Spiderman hits the Lowest Point in Tel Aviv
Tel Aviv’s central station is a place for people with nothing to lose. Immigrants, refugees, homeless people and prostitutes often fill the streets with sadness. So it’s refreshing and quite amazing when Dror Liberman, a performance artist, makes his street performances and tours there, where he dresses up as Spiderman and climbs the light posts around Neve Shaanan. In an interview with TLV1 he tells us about his attraction to the margins of society and about the creation of his confessional tour around those darker parts of the city.
