Music - Avi Tel's first book

Music - Avi Tel's first book

The novel "Music" was written as a piece of music and it is also worth listening to.

This is a living text that is periodically updated in the digital edition attached to the printed edition.

It can be reached from here - https://www.avitell.net.

Avi Tel began writing the text for the novel during 2018 at the same time as a great burst of musical creativity.

By the end of the part presented here, over the course of about two years, he managed to create and produce over 120 albums, in a wide range of styles and instruments. His music, which includes vocal works, piano sonatas, string quartets, and electroacoustic works, moves in the areas of hetonal and disharmony. It does not obey laws and conventions and is difficult to listen to at first listen. It is random music, combining free improvisations and constructions of sound, and just like the text in the novel in front of you, it is a great river of stream of consciousness, leading the reader and the listener in a journey of moods, colors and emotions that are in constant motion and change every morning.

The course of the text sails through diverse text divisions, which constitute a kind of "enclaves" along the way. First a text flowing from the mind, written as a mishna that appears for a moment to be orderly and soon the flowing and melodious river turns into an overflowing mess of compressed words, so that the feeling can be dizzying, as if we have fallen into the mouth of a sentence mixer...

A simulated "vacuum cleaner" is expected to suck the words back, songs will emerge in chapters and next to them realistic descriptions of esoteric moments.

In "music" you can read randomly. You can look for those "enclaves" of poetry or narrative text areas and jump to them, and you can sail in the water and surrender to the waves and ripples.

Purchasers of the printed edition, as mentioned, will be able to complete the experience, using the digital edition at the web address: https://www.avitell.net

In this format, links appear to the many musical works that appear throughout the novel, and to additional information about the composers.

The book was also published in limited editions of 100 copies, signed and numbered, under different covers.

And five books in a huge format of 50 x 70 cm.

The piece was also launched as a special theatrical show, at the Museum of Japanese Art in Haifa under the name "Treasure Box". A 5-hour show. A record of the show can be found on YouTube.

This journey continues.
