"The free-improvised meeting of Israeli harpist Adaya Godlevsky and drummer Haggai Fershtman has distinct yin-yang dynamics."
Eyal Hareuveni review for Salt peanuts
"The connection of Godlevsky's sound playing with Fershtman's penetrating drumming, moves between calm phrases with a spiritual slant and rougher parts with a lot of power"

The duo Adaya Godlevsky (harp, voice, electronics) and Haggai Fershtman (drums, percussion) have been playing free improvisation together for about a decade. The unusual instrumentation creates a palate of sounds drawing on influences including contemporary classical music, avant-garde jazz, and electronic music. Adaya and Haggai are busy and veteran musicians who are unique in the musical landscape, they have been active as a duo, on stages in music clubs and festivals, since 2011. Fershtman has toured internationally with artists including Katamine, Monotonix, and Assaf Avidan, and has appeared on numerous recordings. Godlevsky is an interdisciplinary artist working in music, theater, and performance art in Israel and around the world.
Their first album “Sonia” released in June 2021 on the label "Chant Records" and received warm and enthusiastic responses and praises.
