"Pauses in Shades" is an intimate recording where the pieces are grounded in listening, improvisation, and emotion. The pair first met as children on Israel’s Classical music scene, but it was only when the world came to a standstill in 2020 that they were able to reconnect and make music together. Grounded in listening, improvisation, and emotion. Maya and Uriel took to the studio in an effort to pour life into images, offering their listener the opportunity to pause, join and observe moments created in the room and reflect on the outside.
