Singer, pianist and composer Nelly Klayman-Cohen, who performs under the name Rotem Geffen, evokes a simultaneously refined and raw dream world with her music. The lyrics are written in German, English and Hebrew, and explore worlds of thought that touch on memory, love and grief, but also a kind of poetics of the night. The poet Paul Celan plays a special role. In several of Rotem Geffen’s songs, an intertextual and intimate dialogue is conducted with his poems. The songs are permeated by a na\u00efve shimmer that is balanced by blackness, heaviness and a low-key intensity – in both lyrics and music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her latest album, The night is the night, has received fantastic reviews in the Swedish and international press. On the album, she has collaborated with producer Alex Zethson and mix engineer Anton Torell. The music is carried by a sensual sense of sound that is orchestrated together with some of Stockholm’s most prominent improvisational musicians. The songs show how intimately the instrumental is woven into the lyrics, in an artistic expression where movement, light and darkness, love and pain, presence and loss, form an indissoluble whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
