Ami Shavit, born in Tel Aviv in 1934, was a philosophy and art professor and kinetic artist who became fascinated in the seventies with biofeedback and the alpha waves the brain produces in states of relaxation. In Alpha Mood was meant to induce exactly that state: six slow electronic pieces, minimal and hypnotic, recorded in his studio in a few sessions without post-production.
The original came out in 1977 on his own label in 500 copies and remained almost unknown. Finders Keepers reissued it in 2015 from the master tapes. Part outsider electronics, part physiological experiment, a long way from the new-age records it might seem to resemble.
