Eluding precise rhythm or structure, Micha Nussinov’s music unfolds with water-like movement, at times peaceful and meandering, and at other times insistent, chaotic and discordant. Often born out of tinkering at his piano or synthesiser – a blue Kurzweil K2000 with one note stuck – he frequently incorporates his own voice, speaking words in both English and Hebrew, as well as harmonica and other percussive instruments. 

A large part of Micha’s music practice occurs in the editing process: rearranging, shortening and extending the notes; formulating them into patterns that develop and change; and altering his own voice until it resembles an unfamiliar language or grotesque animal sounds. 

Micha sees music as an exercise in listening to – and having a dialogue with – the instrument, where, upon playing one note, the player must figure out the next move, often improvising. Micha often shuts his eyes when playing the piano, to allow his hands to take the lead and be emersed with the sounds.
