Shamayim, a film by Elliot Caplan (filmmaker) and David Felder, (composer) began with Felder's work with Nicholas Isherwood on a piece for voice and electronic sounds and Caplan's interest in a series of images having to do with nature. Shamayim uses Hebrew letters as the base structure for the music, while Caplan uses the numeric values of these letters as inspiration for the images. In some cases, Caplan attempted to be as close to the sound as possible in creating the images and in others Felder would compose based on the images.

Reviews

  • "A DVD not to be missed: a masterpiece of our times. The music of Felder looks to the future with deep roots in the past in a spiral of sounds that envelop the viewer."

    – translated from the Italian - MusicalNews.com

  • "...I find Shamayim a complex and (in the best sense of the word) awesome work. The music is abstract but not forbidding, and the images arresting and unforgettable."
