This past year, things have happened to me that are really hard to explain. You could just call them strange. Iโll tell you about some of them one day soon.
One big, meaningful thing actually happened on the material side of life.
And no, I didnโt make my first million yet.
But I got myself a 5-string bass guitar, and for me thatโs worth way more than any million you could offer me.
The bass was built by the unmatched team behind @coils_boutique_pickups
Alone Sage, the architect ahead of his time, a fearless artistic pioneer.
Ronen Levy, who runs the operation and is Alone's right-hand man.
Yuval Yanai, the man with the golden hands, who got covered in sawdust doing most of the raw work.
I wonโt forget the moment Alone called me and said -listen, you need a 5-string bass. You know it, I know it. And thatโs whatโs going to happen.
That motif became a sequence that kept repeating itself, growing exponentially, and within three months it became a bass. The bass is based on the 4-string I have (which Alone also built), but with one more string this time. And a few more tweaks.
Iโm still in shock -but nobody asked me. Iโm holding in my hands the two basses that are the dream of every Offir Benjaminov I know - and it feels like a blessing from above. But no, itโs a blessing from the Coils Boutique team on Hamiktzoa Street in Tel Aviv.
Thereโs a saying that fits Alone and his team - โYou canโt create a masterpiece without madness.โ
Wishing you all blessings from above, and from Alone โ the great, crazy artist.
Ronen, Yuval, and Alone โ thank you.
Happy birthday to the one and only @benjaminov ๐งก
The tree, the ground, what a spirit.
Also this year we are lucky that Offir will be having a very special concert of his music on the 12.3 in Heichal HaTarbut. a rare performance of his solo album (Fin A) with strings, harp, and @yehezkelraz on piano. Donโt miss it ๐งฟ
