There is something soul touching about the musical adventures that are the solo albums of Itamar Ziegler. These works are the product of a very personal kind of creation: Itamar recorded the albums at his home studio, playing almost all of the instruments himself. The music brings the intimacy of a private meditation by a brilliant musical mind straight to the listener.Itamar Ziegler is known to an ever-increasing audience of music lovers as one of the world's distinctive voices on the bass guitar. Whether heard with Electro/Gypsy sensation Balkan Beat Box, with indie rock band Pink Noise, with the innovative Shotnez, or on his solo records, Itamar's distinctive musical voice shines through.Born and raised in Tel Aviv, Israel, Itamar began his musical studies on the guitar, but soon found his niche on the bass. By the age of 19 he was one of the most sought-after musicians in Israel, performing with top national acts and world-renowned performers. After Def Jam Records signed his band Sideffect, Itamar moved to New York City, where he has lived and worked ever since. In addition to his work with Balkan Beat Box and Pink Noise, Itamar has recorded on bass and guitar with acts including Gogol Bordello, Firewater, The Blam, and Victoria Hanna. He has also worked as a composer for film and television, scoring the BBC documentary “Blue Bloodâ€, which debuted at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival, and togther with Shotnez worked on Miao Wang’s much-lauded documentary “Yellow Ox Mountain.â€Itamar's solo albums have been his main focus in recent years. He completed his self-titled first album in 2003, followed by his second album, "The Birds, The Sky, The Trees...all that shit," in 2006. Both albums received excellent reviews and in 2006 Itamar was signed by the Israeli record label The 8th Note. Itamar is currently seeking the support of a label or distributor to help put his album on the map in the US and Europe.
