Raw & Spiky

Every time I change the strings of my guitar it feels like a burst of fresh wind and energy enters it. The same way a relaxed weekend does to the soul after a long week with a corona ambient soundtrack. In these days of quarantine, I miss the most having a simple Friday dinner with my family. My Israel visit plans quite changed, obviously, but it’s gonna be alright, I got @effi_lind with me 😘 (and my guitar.. and video calls 😅) Shabbat shalom! ✨ _______________________________ #guitaristsofinstagram #guitarlife #home #shabbatshalom #shabbatshalom❤️ #quarantineandchill #hopeful #feelgoodphoto #musicianlifestyle #producerlifestyle #farfromhome #israeltravel #friyay🙌 #igersgraz #acousticguitar — view on Instagram https://kipod.link/2U6shIm

This quarantine leaves no room for excuses. Its a great opportunity for me to bring the focus back on what’s important, and get some distance from the distractions. Stay healthy! העיקר הבריאות ________________________ #quarantine #fingerdrumming #maschine #lightring #headphones #musicproducer #musicpractice #alwaysbepracticing #groove #focus #corona #healthy — view on Instagram https://kipod.link/2QldJCD

My new 3P is being released tomorrow! Stay tuned. This shot was taken from the legendary open mic night in Sägewerk, Graz - Hosted by the @theuptownmonotones. I actually performed there a stripped-down acoustic (but still groovy) versions of my new songs included in tomorrow's 3P. Must say - performing hebrew lyrics and middle-eastern melodies in front of a european crowd seemed scary at first sight.. But when those first chords start playing, and the first line is out, it's like jumping out of an airplane - crazy fun and I can't stop until I hit the ground! 🤘🙃 In the end, that performance and the audience's response, removed any doubts I had about the songs, and in the same week I recorded and finished those songs. see you tomorrow ! 📸: @vernationslife ________________________________________________ #guitarist #guitaristsofinstagram #onstage #performer #stagelife #giglife #performerlife #recordingartist #blackhat #openmicnight #groove #openmic #grazmusic #lifeofamusician #newreleasefriday #newsongs #newsong2020 #musicrelease #newmusicrelease — view on Instagram https://kipod.link/2QZsZEK

2019 has been quite a challenging year for me, personally and musically, I haven't created as much as I'd expected I would and I gave myself quite a hard time for it... But I've learned 2 valuable skills this year - 1. Big picture Focus: what's my priority number one, and how everything else aligns according to it in my plan. 2. Microscope-laser Focus: how to not let those thoughts, doubts, fears and co, interfere when it matters the most. Basically, being more present. ------- And I'm EXCITED to announce this Friday (10.1), 3 days from now, I'm releasing 3 new original songs (You can call it a 3P), you can already pre-save it on Spotify -> LINK IN BIO. ✌️ Happy new decade! _______________________________________________________________ #newyear #newyearresolution #release #spotify #presave #3P #EP ##eprelease #singlerelease #popmusic #rockmusic #hiphop #worldmusic #beatmaker #indiemusic #grazmusic #grazmusik #israelmusic #hebrewmusic #producer #focus #presence #2020vision #groove #grateful — view on Instagram https://kipod.link/2tAcGGk

This saturday performing in the Mur Kultur ⁠festival 🤩 I've performed there last year, honestly I was nervous - first time doing my live beats performance, my head ran all the things that could possibly go wrong, including a sudden flood in the river that washes all my equipment away.. scary. 😨 Eventually though, it was a very exhilarating experience, everything went well, no flood (phew) and people were moving to my beats. Gonna prepare some new sounds for the 2nd round.😛 If you're in Graz - DM me for details. _____________________________________⁠ #graz #liveperform #neuemusik #weltmusik #songwritersofinstagram #livebeats #sounddedign #riverflood #musicgear #beatmaking #walkingaway #walkinhstreet #savetheriver #liveperformances #liveperformer #musikerleben #konzertliebe #musicismysoul #murkultur — view on Instagram https://kipod.link/2Lc9Xba

Just checking out the new trend of 'Whole Body' drumming. Feels more immersive but can lead to more chaos. I think I'll stay with my roots - Fingerdrumming. 😜🤞⁠ ⁠ Kipod AKA Littlefingerdrummer ⁠ ⁠ For a real drummer check out @sepstadtegger 👈⁠ ______________________________________________⁠ #drums #drumsolo #fingerdrumming #fingerdrummer #groovelife #grooveshare #grooves #chaosisaladder #chaos #מוזיקה# מוסיקה #musiker #graz #schlagzeuger #schlagzeug #beatlife #makingbeats #drumsdaily #studio #rythem — view on Instagram https://kipod.link/2NsJpp7

What I like the most about playing an instrument (drum pads, keyboard, guitar) is that with every touch of my finger, a new colour or vibration comes into the world that is uniquely mine, for a split second. ⁠ ⁠ So for me, playing a certain groove, or a melody, is my humble attempt at painting my mood in a way that doesn't stay with you, but moves with you. ⁠ ⁠ After this philosophising, I'm gonna go back to pushing some more buttons. 🎹😁⁠ _________________________⁠ #hamsa #fingerdrumming #groove #abletonlive10 #instrumental #beatlife #livebeats #beatmaking #makingbeats #independentmusician #discovermusic #indiemusic #orientalmusic #worldbeat⁠ #liveperformance #independentmusician #worldmusic #ethnomusic #instrumentalmusic #instrumentalbeats⁠ ⁠ — view on Instagram https://kipod.link/33sDPbN

Most of my summers, since high school probably, I've always had summer projects - "get driving license", ⁠ "save up money", "study"...⁠ ⁠ This time it's "make music everyday". ⁠ ⁠ No holding back.

I've been searching for my sound for some time now, a sound that will encapsulate where i come from and where I want to go. That can really keep me up at nights. ⁠ ⁠ But I understand now that my sound is ever-changing, my point of reference should be how I feel now, at this very moment, and not this yearning for nostalgia or ⁠ masterminding the future with upcoming trends. ⁠ ⁠ And now I feel like chilling under a palm tree in the middle of a european city. I wonder how that sounds like? 🤔⁠ _________________________________⁠ #graz #musician #soundcraft #summer #chilling #nostalgia #tree #palmtreelove #songwriterslife #styria #steiermark #singerlife #igersgraz #songwritersofinstagram #originalsong #independentmusician #discovermusic #liveperformance #independentmusician — view on Instagram https://kipod.link/2ZnJVYs

I revisited a song today from a year ago I'd almost forgotten about. It was so weird and playful that I thought it's not 'serious' enough to be released. But fuck that, it's coming out soon. 🖖🖐️_______________________________⁠ #livebeats #fingerdrumming #instrumentalmusic #instrumentalbeats #beatmakerlife #handmade #handsome #studio #liveperformance #independentmusician #discovermusic #indiemusic ⁠ #diymusician #songwritersofinstagram #instamusician #מוזיקה #musiker #liedermacher #makingbeats #funmusic #musicallyfun⁠ ⁠ — view on Instagram https://kipod.link/30Tz7lc

I try not to get trapped in my own concepts and thoughts. Overthinking is definitely one of my biggest enemies. I use music to overcome it, because music cannot be reasoned with. Letting go actually gives me a better grasp of who I am. Do you overthink? (If it takes you more than a second, you know what the answer is) 🤳: @effi_lind _______________________ #goodvibes #gratitude #frame #mindset #creativeminds #colorsoftheday #dreamimage #summergroove #letgo #nature #songwritersofinstagram #yellow #hamsa #livebeats #worldmusic #ethnomusic — view on Instagram https://kipod.link/2YprkxK

I remember going through my parents' old vinyls, they had all kinds of artists there I've never heard about and of course classics like 'Dark side of the moon' and Stevie wonder records. I was probably around 15 years old at the time, definitely a 'pirate-as-much-music-as-you-can kid' (Now i'm a Streaming kid, mind you), but still, it felt kind of magical. Dusting off those old records, looking at the song titles, smelling it, putting it gently on the 2-decades unused vinyl player, and hearing that crackling sound of it spinning, before any 'real' musical sound begins.I wonder what that music meant to them, at the time they just bought those albums. And if the fact people don't really 'own' music anymore, affects the value it has in their lives._______________________________________⁠ #records #vintage #vinylcommunity #vinyladdict #dj #album #collectibles #music #songwritersofinstagram #independentmusician #discovermusic #newmusicmonday #indiemusic #classics #oldrecords #albums #vinylplayer #streaming #musicstreaming ⁠ ⁠ — view on Instagram https://kipod.link/2JPUBZp

Waking up to go straight to the studio and have a knob-fight with my inner musical😈demons on a daily basis, is the closest one can get to levitating over the ground.⁠ ⁠ ________________________________⁠ #nancyrubins #airplaneparts #hamsa #demons #flying #levitating #livebeats #liveperformance #allstar #independentmusician #discovermusic #indiemusic #worldmusic #ethnomusic #airplane⁠ #israelimusic #diymusician #songwritersofinstagram #instamusician #graz #musicianslife #performer #musicianforlife #israeligram⁠ ⁠ ⁠ — view on Instagram https://kipod.link/2NXeyTr
