about

Concepts behind 'The Four Questions' by Zohar's Nigun (interview with Daniel Weltlinger, September 2012):

This is bassist Simon Milman's composition. Simon is a great bass player, and was born in Argentina to Argentinian-Russian parents but grew up in Canberra, Australia. Particularly important concerning the central concept of Zohar's Nigun, it is Simon's Dad who happens to be Jewish and Simon has really nothing at all to do with this aspect of his heritage - which is the whole point. Simon's understanding of happening to have some Jewish background is entirely different and separate to my understanding - or Daniel Pliner's or Alon Ilsar's understanding - of having this heritage. Simon does have a connection to this heritage in his music perhaps, maybe there is a trace in his facial features or something deep down, sub conscious, lurking around. Simon's composition is very lively, it is in 7, and alludes to the time that Simon lived in Marrickville, Sydney. The composition title is a reference to the many old Greek ladies from the neighbourhood who used to mistake him for being Greek and even speak to him in Greek, and a 'Galaktoboureko' is in fact a delicacy you can find in many of the great food shops around this area..
