Live fold edit 1

Breaking&Mending was made using (only) sounds recorded at the Lulu & Leo Fund event that took place on November 5, 2014 at the Museum of the City of New York.

Sounds were edited, effected, and arranged but remain fairly close to their original sources, which were:

Recordings made at a sound station at the event, where people played with everyday objects (pencils, bubble wrap, bottle filled with loose change, etc)
    
Recordings of the crowd and the space itself
    
Recording of a single note being played during the tuning of the piano just prior to the beginning of the event (this note was mapped to a virtual keyboard and used to play chords)

Fall In The City

Drafting Drafting Drafting is a solo piano track that was released on the album A Passage of Concrete (Anticipate, 2017).  https://ezekiel-honig.bandcamp.com/album/a-passage-of-concrete

This is a vocal version, as the title suggests, featuring vocals by Trevor De Nógla. 

Ezekiel and Trevor are working on several tracks together but this is an example of the collaboration.

Lyrics:
We lost our sails among the waves
We spent a summer in the clouds
There's always some things 
We should have said

How I wish

For higher ground
Bury me where my roots grow down

Wild eyed and blue
Wild eyes

You lift me out
Of this landslide

It's all we ever knew
You're the daylight
In-between
My falling ruins

Lead me out of this
Lead me out of this

Drafting Drafting Drafting (Vocal Edit)

Currently unreleased track in collaboration with Trevor De Nógla on vocals/lyrics.

H302 Vocal Edit

spacious, smearing pianos... atmospheric, enveloping, live improvisation with elements of "drafting hindsight"

Drafting Live (Smeared Edit)

unmastered version of a track that appears on both the ... and darkness came compilation to benefit victims of hurricane sandy, and the percussion lab compilation

Plastic Rumblings

This is a live set, recorded at home, on April 6, 2020. It's a similar approach as a live show, improvising with loops and sounds from previously produced tracks. 

This one is particularly focused on relaxation, introspection, space. If it was played in an event space it would be a mellow one, with comfortable chairs or lots of floor space.

Past Tense Kitchen Movement

Using the loop as more of a tool than a rule, Ezekiel Honig's emotively warm electronic-acoustic music nestles into a comfortable, shared space between melodic, event-driven ambient, muted techno, textural downtempo, and slowmotion house. Using these genres as reference points from which to stray, Honig uses everyday objects and spaces amidst processed instruments, tethering to our physical universe while eschewing any concerns of figurative reality. Plastic, metal, wood, and air coalesce with Rhodes, guitar, horns, and piano, creating a sound of contrast and contradiction, pairing inviting, fuzzy chords with clunky and dirty mishaps. Honig finds this sense of balance - of past and future, acoustic and digital, abstraction and concrete immediacy - by grounding himself in the idea that a sound can be a representation of infinite stories, emotions, possibilities, and simultaneously be just a sound to be used in a work of audio.
 
After more than a decade of releasing music - on both his own Anticipate and Microcosm imprints as well as like-minded labels such as Type, Unfoundsound, and Other People - in 2014 Honig completed his first book, Bumping Into a Chair While Humming: Sounds of the Everyday, Listening, and the Potential of the Personal, an exploration of the sonic potential in everyday objects, spaces, and interactions. With a focus on the benefits of a strong listening practice and the search for a personal soundscape, Honig took steps towards formalizing methods he has exercised instinctually in his own sound productions.
 
Whether it is curating a body of work by other musical artists, creating visual art, scoring a film, developing an online curriculum for sound production, or writing a book on his sonic philosophies, Honig's directive has always been centered in connecting threads, on using sound as a focal point that allows spilling out into various disciplines.
