Ori Barel - Bronze, Beige, Morse (2025)

Bronze, Beige, Morse is a collision of raw and intricate sounds, charged with tension—a synesthetic world where fleeting melodies and unstable harmonic centers emerge and dissolve. Surf, punk, electronica, and progressive music converge in a disorienting yet compelling experience—one where direction is elusive and resolution never certain.

Drawing from a wide range of musical idioms, the album thrives on unpredictability and contrast. Randomness plays a key role, but beneath the surface, a subtle logic drives the momentum. Expressive yet abstract, the music resists expectation while revealing its own internal coherence. Each piece unfolds like a short story, taking unexpected turns and gaining meaning through shifting repetition.

Drummer Chad Wackerman—known for his work with Frank Zappa in the 1980s—features on track “Silly Goose.”
