saar hendelman is lyricist and composer, pianist, singer, and an orchestrator of dissonant fever dreams and songs:
beating the piano keys in menacing grooves, plucking through strings with walnut picks, weavings and words, emotional bruises.
he is as inspired by the classical music of Maurice Ravel and Kurt Weill as by the writing of Franz Kafka, by the magic of rock icons Tom Waits and Bjork as by the paintings of Amedeo Modigliani.
his unique style makes the odd familiar, odd again.
film scores. + solo work: bleed on your dress. + collaborations: scotty morris of big bad voodoo daddy, leah andreone, terrance zdunich.
his most recent work, Alleluia! The Devil’s Carnival, for which he co-wrote the songs and composed the score, is now touring across the US.
