Aviv Geffen (Hebrew: born 10 May 1973) is an Israeli rock musician, singer, and poet, as well as the brother of actor Shira Geffen and Nurit Makover, and an alumnus of Rimon School of Jazz and Contemporary Music. Geffen, a founding member of the Blackfield band, was also the world music director for WeWork in addition to his solo career.
Geffen was and is extremely popular among Israeli youth who were known as the "Moonlight Children" in the 1990s ( ). He identifies with the Israeli Left on both political and ideological terms. Love, peace, death, suicide, education, and the army (in particular, the IDF) are all topics in his music. He has been chastised for performing about the IDF when he was not working, though he was not drafted for medical reasons.
Music career
Geffen's first song, "Friend" ["chaver]] was released in 1990, along with the band "Cats in the Piping." He released his first album, "Ze Rak Or Hayareach" [It's Only the Moonlight], in 1992, all of his songs were written and composed by Geffen himself.
He appeared in the teen television series A Matter of Time in 1992. He also wrote a song for The Beach Boys, an Israeli film set in 1976. Geffen performed in clubs with his band HaTauyót [The Mistakes] ["The Mistakes] [The Hebrew word is intentionally misspelled in two places.
Geffen's second album, Achshav Me'unan [It's Cloudy Now], went gold in the same year and expressed his generation's dissatisfaction with Israel's government. Moshe Levi and Ofer Meiri, who created the standard Geffen sound, made it. "It's Cloudy Now" was followed by a question that many Israeli teenagers asked with Geffen – "Do you want change?"
Geffen's third album, Aviv Geffen III, a concept album about negative effects on someone who was forced to serve in the army, did not represent a change in Geffen's sound. Geffen and Lior Tevet managed the project. The album included the hit song "Ha'im Lehohav?"["Should I Be In Love With You?
"," was promoted by a video and followed Achshav Me'unan's success.Shumakom [Nowhere] Geffen, however, was in charge of the project, assassinated by Reuven Shapira (as sound engineer) and producer Moshe Levi. All the lyrics and music were written by Geffen.
Geffen, a political activist, also expressed the desire for peace with Israel's neighbors.
The Israeli peace political parties staged a demonstration on November 4th, 1995, in favor of the peace process. Geffen was invited to perform, but he ultimately decided to perform Livkot Lekha ["Cry for You]," which he wrote and gave to Israeli singer Arik Einstein. Only later was it discovered that the lyrics prophesied Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's tragic assassination attempt later that night. "Cry for You" became a sort of anthem, and it was the song that represented the Candle Children who prayed for Rabin's death visually with memorial candles.
[The Letter] was published in 1996 by Geffen. Mèred HaDmaót [The Tears Rebellion] was written after Rabin's assassination in 1995. It represented a change and a turning point in Geffen's music. Geffen released "The Israeli Version of Imagine" later in 1996, "Shir Tikvá" ["Let's Walk for the Dream]], which evoked profoundly Geffen's perspective.
Geffen's first collection, which included a CD with the best songs of the early 1900s, as well as a second CD with B sides and live performances, was released in 1997. Halul [Hollowed], one of Geffen's more popular albums, saw an effort to broaden his audience on a global basis. It was also produced by Moshe Levi, but unlike him, it is a tough, cold, and alienated object of distortion. Despite heavy advertising (such as billboards), the company's sales struggled commercially.
Geffen's 8th studio album, Leilót Levan [White Nights], was released in 1999, during Geffen's time as a result of Geffen's life's transitions. Moshe Levi was once again the designer, and the two together resulted in a soft and melodic album in comparison to Halulim. It featured the song "Mexico," which remained on the Israeli charts for a long time.
Geffen released his 9th album, Yomán Masá [A Journey's Log], in September 2000, for the first time produced by Louie Lahav and on a new label, "Helicon." Geffen worked with two individuals, Daniel Salomon (who came from Leilot Levanim) and Moshe Levi, who was also involved in the orchestration, who were both involved in the orchestration. Geffen had released 11 melodic songs, as well as a bonus track dedicated to Bob Dylan, an Israeli cover of Geshem Kaved Lipol ["A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall"] (translated by his father). Geffen's album contained three hits: Uri Ur [Wake Up]], Tsalakót ["Scars"], and Yoman Masa (coincidentally with Arik Einstein).
In 2001, Geffen met and began to collaborate with British rock star Steven Wilson, with whom he formed the band Blackfield. Both musicians' achievements are combined with their own original compositions, as well as Aviv's own songs translated into English. In the mid-2000s (see ahead), the band released three highly acclaimed albums (see ahead) and undertook major tours for each release. Wilson's fourth album appearance in 2013 saw him drop into the slums due to his increasing workload, choosing to produce the album rather than contributing minor writing and recording.
Geffen's new album, "Memento Mori," was dedicated to his grandmother, who died a short time before the album's release. The name was derived from Latin phrase "Remember You Will Die" (meaning one should recall one's death). "Memento Mori" was soft on his previous albums (but it also has more difficult songs). Keren Ore ["Ray of Light]] and Holèch Kadima [Moving Forward] were two major hits on the album: "Moving Forward"] and "Moving Forward." Shir Atzuv [Sad Song] was the first single from this album.
The Israeli documentary film "Aviv" was released in 2003, focusing on Aviv Geffen's life. At the Bangkok International Film Festival, the film premiered.
The album "Blackfield" was released in 2004, as a result of Geffen and Steven Wilson's cooperation on Porchine Tree's cooperation. In early 2007, Blackfield II was announced, followed by the live DVD Blackfield: Live in NYC later this year. Both of the Blackfield albums resulted in several hits, including "Blackfield," "Pain" and "Once." In March 2011, Geffen's third album titled Welcome to My DNA was released, with the majority of songs being written by Geffen. It also contains a remastered version of his album Memento Mori's "Zigota" ().
Im HaZmán ["With Time"] was released by Geffen in 2006. The theme song is a recap of a French chanson by Léo Ferré, which demonstrated maturity and sobering from the clichés he represented in his early years. Live is the most recent creation of his 2CD/1DVD collection. Geffen is the radical left in a recent interview.
Geffen announced in November 2007 that he was recording his first English-language studio album after releasing two albums with Blackfield. In January 2008, his single 'End of the World' debuted at number one in Poland, and he appeared at Bush Hall in London on the 31st. At the end of 2008, he recorded a single (Silence) and is touring in January 2009, with performances in Kraków, Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Munich, and London.
He revealed in June that recording had begun at Sarm West Studios, with Trevor Horn producing and Steven Wilson and Mike Garson appearing on the record. These sessions culminated in Aviv Geffen's debut English-language album, which was released in 2009 near the end of summer 2009. 'It was Meant to be a Love Song' was the debut single.'
Welcome to my DNA, Blackfield's third studio album, was released in March 2011. "Blackfield IV" was released in 2013 with contributions from several guest vocalists.
Aviv Geffen began as one of the top four coaches on Israel's version of the vocal performance competition show The Voice Israel, beginning in 2012.
Geffen spent the majority of 2015 recording his upcoming fourth Blackfield season, despite the fact that he had to withdraw from being part of Blackfield due to a lack of time. Alan Parsons' legendary Alan Parsons' new album was recorded in London and Los Angeles. The album (or just portions of it) was eventually mixed, according to Geffen's Twitter account. On February 10, 2017, Blackfield V, the record, which is titled Blackfield V, was published.
Mr Down & Mrs High, Aviv Geffen's solo EP, was unveiled in the United Kingdom on May 23nd. The EP's lead song Mr Down & Mrs High, "Highway," and "When Summer Comes" is included on the album, which was produced by Tony Visconti and Trevor Horn.
He was named as WeWork's global music director in 2018.
During a concert in the West Bank in August 2022, Geffen apologised for his previous anti-settler views. Geffen said he had undergone a process of personal transformation that had "opened my eyes" and that he had previously been "ignorant."
