A new composition based on lyrics by the Israeli poet Yehuda Amichai.
In the poem, Amichai is describing the moment when one's love turns to memory, and when that love creates new memories with someone else.
When I composed music to this poem, I tried to convey the feeling of loss and pain.
The pain that you can understood only if you've really been in love

Uriel Herman (27), classically trained pianist and composer, operates on the seam between jazz and rock and his music is also influenced by classical music and Israeli sounds. Over the past year, Herman has wandered the world on a kind of journey of discovery – from Tel Aviv to Costa Rica to Berlin and Vienna and recently returned from a composing project in Sweden and a concert tour in Taiwan.

“Classical music and classical playing are still very close to my heart, but what was missing was the freedom, the freedom to break free from the form…the freedom to improvise…to express…” During his visit to Costa Rica, Herman participated in a shaman ceremony that lasted all night long. It was in the wake of this experience that Uriel wrote “White night”, a kind of jazz rhapsody, a work based on classical form and elements, but with much room for freedom: “Those spaces that interest me on the stage are the musical domains where you have no idea what it will sound like. Music is the art of time…It takes place within time…It must change and be dynamic,” declares Herman.

All the processes he went through culminated in the album “Awake”, his new album that contains poems set to new melodies, arrangements of songs by Nirvana and Radiohead, as well as original music.
