Simanim by Amitai Mann, Matan Serry
Two dollars from every purchase of this album will be donated to the Simanim Educational Initiative, a project dedicated to renewing young people’s connection with the ancient art of cantillation and encouraging emerging artists to create, research, and reinterpret the timeless world of the Te’amim.
Simanim is an 11-part musical journey inspired by the melodic codes of the Hebrew Bible, those subtle signs that shaped centuries of storytelling, memory, and emotion.
The album blends contemporary composition with echoes of traditional cantillation, revealing a sound world that is both intimate and expansive, ancient and newly imagined.
This project grew out of years of curiosity, study, and artistic dialogue. It invites listeners into a reflective space where old symbols become new music, and where tradition meets a fresh creative voice.
