A collaboration between Israeli singer songwriter Aviv Geffen and British musician and producer Steven Wilson. Two years
back and forth on the London-Tel-Aviv flight path, a mutual artistic curiosity and a close friendship are the components that
gave birth to Aviv and Steven's Blackfield project.

A collaboration between Israeli singer songwriter Aviv Geffen and British musician and producer Steven Wilson. Two years
back and forth on the London-Tel-Aviv flight path, a mutual artistic curiosity and a close friendship are the components that
gave birth to Aviv and Steven's Blackfield project.
Aviv Geffen, a highly successful solo artist and outspoken (not to mention controversial) peace campaigner, with a string of
gold albums in his own country, discovered the music of Steven's band Porcupine Tree in the mid 90's and followed their
career development. In 2000, he invited the band to perform some concerts in Israel and met with Steven in London to
discuss the idea. Something clicked and before long they had already collaborated on the very first Blackfield song. In 2001
the two met in a studio in Tel Aviv with the intention of recording a one-off EP. So pleased were they and the record
company with the results however, that the EP originally scheduled for release in 2001was cancelled and the decision was
made to continue writing and recording with the aim of completing a full length LP. Over the next 18 months, the pair fitted in
Blackfield writing and recording sessions whenever they could between their other commitments, and in October 2003, the
album was complete. The collaborative songs written by each separately brought a unique meeting of cultures, which
resulted in a sophisticated, melodic, and melancholic rock album. Since then, the duo have released two more albums,
Blackfield II in 2007 and Welcome To My DNA in 2011.
