Ohad Fishof is an interdisciplinary artist and performer. His work spans and intersects sound, performance, dance, video and text. His creations are predominantly time-based, often exhibiting a deep-rooted inclination towards the performative—a predisposition that places great significance on art as a shared experience. This emphasis is embedded in the work itself, showing a formal interest in narrative and the structure of stories as a mold for human experience.

Ohad Fishof’s latest LP marks his first solo album since 2019’s Album 1 (Entr’acte). In Witchcraft and Gardening, he continues to expand his highly personal musical idiom, constructing a oneiric narrative out of a multifaceted mixture of songs, instrumentals, and in-between hybrids. It is a tapestry that allows for a wide expressive range—from abstract electro-acoustic configurations to avant-pop sequences.

Witchcraft and Gardening is highly textured, constructed and layered with processed field recordings, synths, flutes, and a variety of voices—talking, singing, murmuring, humming—often distant and obscured, heard from afar or from beyond; at other times, crisp and direct, and occasionally caught halfway in a gibberish, contradictory formation of both. The shapes of language, rather than its meanings, take center stage in this album—though there are also conventional lyrics. Nature is present here: sizzling, shining, rumbling. Humans are present: conversing, declaring, yearning. Technology is present: buzzing, humming, flashing.
