Ketev

KETEV is a project by sound artist and composer Yair Elazar Glotman, in which he explores the potential of contextual and structural transfers and sound processes. Glotman uses personal recordings and tape loops that shift in and out of beat to form the basis for his mantra-like patterns, which float above a deep sound scenery. His compositions layer abstract textures, shifting rhythmic patterns, and dogmatic forms, and his work flexibly changes frames between experimental music and sound art, club music and concert experience, and move between the digital and analog possibilities of repetition and variation. KETEV’s well-received self-titled debut was released on Opal Tapes in early 2014, closely followed by his second release, Singular Stare, on  record label Where to Now?. KETEV’s latest release on Aurora Borealis, titled ‘I Know No Weekend’, is a homage to the shamanistic works of Joseph Beuys.     This artist is being presented within the framework of SHAPE – a platform for innovative music and audiovisual art from Europe – and is supported by the Creative Europe program of the European Union.
