MUSIC
"...Expanding music beyond sound to image, movement, smell and taste is the most natural way for creating true interdisciplinary performative language, within which the role of music as an art form is established in a new trust"

THE INVISIBLE SCORE
Reflexive Invisible Score, an original and innovative
notation technique used to create REFLEXIVE MUSIC.
Active Listening Playground, a performative space time perspective, is perceived by the audience as a complex unity of mediums, fascinating in their inseparability and discrete power, as in a perfectly balanced conversation that leads to unforeseen conclusions.

Founded by Rosenbaum in 1999, Reflex is a multi-national thirty-five-member ensemble dedicated to erasing the boundaries between art, technology and live performance using a unique inner logic and counterpoint between sound and vision.
This modern music ensemble (formed after “New Voices” took place – the first interdisciplinary festival in Israel), is a unique collective of classical, jazz and rock musicians, actors and dancers, lighting, sound artists, photographic and video artists and designers, from Israel, Europe and the U.S. Ensemble members are leading figures in the contemporary art, music and performance scene.
Since 1999 the ensemble produced Reflex1, Reflex2, Reflex3 (Duet for Violin and Spotlight), Reflex4 (Blowing Steam), and Reflex5 (Reflex Quartet and the 10th anniversary international celebration).
