ENT-T, which means entity or being, but also essence of things, was founded in Tel Aviv in 2006 by producer Lior Suliman, who defined its direction by defining its space among labels such as Nonesuch, 4AD and ECM, albeit in a darker mood. In this sense, one of his steadiest collaborators is Israeli singer Tal Weiss, whose album Motion Drawing is already her third for this brand (after backcaTALog from 2005 and Tal Weiss from 2007). It contains ten fragile miniatures with minimal use of instruments, and so in The Little Things, the singer is only accompanied by bassist Peter Marck, in Ripping Sounds by flutist Lior Eitan, in Return of the Native by cellist Rachel Mercer and in several others by harpist Julia Rovinsky. The overall mood corresponds to this: it is a poignant exploration of inner feelings, acting as a patch on our own pains as well as the pains of others, almost shy, at times lullaby-ish or childishly naive songs, with only an occasional wider range of notes (Him & I). This gentle, surprisingly soothing uncertainty and moderation, possibly resulting from a small vocal large, may be grounded in fear of roughness of this world and opposition to it, which I can demonstrate by its relationship to drastic topics such as hurricane, which is explored with similarly constant shyness. Leveling restrictions? I don't think so. Fragile artwork by Japanese painter Hasegawa Tohaku (1539 - 1610) on the cover suggests intentionality of this concept. And for now, Tal Weiss continues to celebrate international success with the mentioned single from the album (Return of the Native).
