Monotalk is a Tel Aviv based band, formed in 2006 by Israel Erez (songwriter, keys, and guitar player), Yoav alyagon (guitars and drums), and Roy Regev (guitars and sampling).
The three members are performing and working together ever since. The band had just finished recording its first album with Samuel Daniel, well acclaimed Israeli producer. The recordings took place during 2008-09 @ Hook Studio and HOOK&high Mastering, Tel Aviv.
The album presents a unique warm ambience and dominant vocals, delivered through multiple layers of Fender Rhodes, guitars, samplers and a smooth Hammond, alongside an analogical base and warm live drums. The album portrays some intriguing electronic moments.

Poligraf is currently hibernating, and probably not coming back to life, at least for the foreseeable future.

still, i have been writing new material steadily since the band was last active, and i plan to use this outlet to promote music old and new as it gets recorded and produced.

expect a mix of songs and instrumentals influenced from progressive rock and which have been written for Poligraf, singer-songwriter tunes that are closer in their essence to folk-rock or even pop, pieces for solo classical guitar, and occasional electroid experimentation. hope you enjoy the ride !
