Dare to venture where no artists do with the psych and Brit-rock influenced Izakman and his wickedly mad new music video for Down The Rabbit Hole – released 11/02/22.
The video showcases the filmmaker’s talents across music and visuals. Inspired directly by Lewis Carroll’s work across mathematics and literature, the video follows a young mathematician lost in a mathematical wonderland in pursuit of the solution to a complex equation – a solution that manifests as Alice. The trippy visuals incorporate a new mathematical branch, Soft Logics, developed by esteemed mathematics Moshe Kelin and Oded Maimon, who lent their actual equations for the video. The result is a video that pushes the barrier of known mathematics and musical sounds…
Down the Rabbit Hole video accompanies the release of Izakman’s album Cyber Love, released 27/01/22. The 12-track album explores themes of absence scored by a soundscape inspired by psychedelic literature spanning the works of Lewis Carroll and Brothers Grimm. Frontman and songwriter Itamar Isaak conjures a mystical sound equal parts whimsical, melancholic, and technically proficient, in an acid prog rock journey led by himself and his band.
This most recent music video follows the troubadour’s previous video for the album’s titular track – Cyber Love. A totally transcendent work of art, fronted by the soulful and graceful Izakman, the song laments on the struggles of communication in the digital age. Izakman translates the song in real time with an otherworldly British Sign Language dance choreographed alongside specialist Sarah Landsman as a psychedelic backdrop incorporates braille and morse code. The video, which Izakman also directed and edited, participated in Munich Music Video Awards, International Music Video Awards London, Rome Music Video Awards, London Music Video Festival 2021, and Euro Video Song Awards Paris.
Izakman’s creativity spans beyond his music as the artist is also a celebrated filmmaker. Inspired by the legendary Yellow Submarine at only 10, Izakman was a conduit as thousands of images and piano pieces flew through him. Today, he introduces the same wonder on to new generations with his upcoming, Jules Verne inspired fantasy adventure television show for Baby TV (Disney). Much like his music the project plays in a state of heightened reality, this time with a combination of live action and animation.
Across his work in film and music, his connections to the fantastically dynamic underground Israeli music scene, or even simply enjoying rhythmic repetitious singing with one of the last remaining hunter-gather tribes in Africa, Izakman remains ever cosmically entrancing and synonymous with creativity.
