In November 2020, with almost the entire world locked up at home, a desire to create something lasting flared up in Amir Bresler. He had been performing on stage for years, but had never released a full solo album. A friend's invitation brought him to a rural village outside Tel Aviv, and the move ignited a spark: Bresler set up shop in the village's local auditorium, the "House of Bows," and scheduled one-day sessions with various combinations of Tel Aviv's best musicians, including keyboardist/producer Rejoicer, Yemen Blues frontman Ravid Kahalani, bassist Gilad Abro, pianist Nomok and trumpeter Sefi Zisling

For nearly a week, a group of friends drove north and immersed themselves in psychedelic jazz and funk, all of which captured spontaneous bursts of energy on Bresler's polyrhythmic beats, free jams in the morning that segued into tight, hypnotic grooves in the afternoon. These six compositions, all recorded live in one day, make up "House of Arches," Amir Bresler's first solo LP, released via Raw Tapes.
