SHTUBY is a musical experience that blends both visual and auditory stimulus to create something magical and that is why they are known as the SHTUBY Band Experience. SHTUBY is an artist, a multi-instrumentalist and a master of electronic music. SHTUBY, dressed in a red morphsuit, directs the band and performs on Theremin, Synth, bouzouki, Eiwi and a variety of computers and tools installed in a unique control station to create a new sound perspective that is exciting and unpredictable. Coupled with the Band Experience, they make every show and performance new and unique. The band is Jonathan Alter (drums), Martha Mc’cave Dayan (flute), Ziv Harpaz (bass), and Omer Dayan (vocals/voice). The electronic instruments, sounds and performances are seamlessly integrated with the live instruments such as: Theremin, bass, drums and percussion, flute, wind instruments, a poetry vocalist and many more surprises. The music has a wide range of influences from around the world:  funk, jazz, Israeli music, Oriental music, Mediterranean and dance music is all set to a groove mixed with Electronic music beats and sounds, all wonderfully performed by the SHTUBY Band Experience. They have a new album out titled, The Red Circus. Containing eleven tunes that feature their unique and innovative sound of electronic world music, with special guest musicians rounding out the group.

Positives:

SHTUBY is a creative force of nature that produces the music in real time, both in the recording studio and live, so every track is exciting and bristles with ‘live’ energy.

Bottom Line:

The SHTUBY Band Experience captures pure world electronica psychedelic energetic with their eleven-track journey across multiple styles, beats, instrumentations and emotions. The spoken word poetry adds a colorful narrative to each track. The virtuosic abilities of each band-member is impressive, whether playing a quick Mediterranean colored melody or developing deep rhythmic grooves, each member is interactive and adaptive. Dayan’s flute improvisations are excellent. All built and directed by SHTUBY’s imagination, the tracks pass through multiple feels, forms and musical influences. The special guest add colors and textures of: vocals, violin, saxophone, bag pipes, trumpet and trombone The influences of electronica can be heard and felt throughout, but this is a band experience and the fact that SHTUBY plays and produces sounds and instruments associated with that genre is only secondary. SHTUBY is primarily placing those sounds and instruments in a band setting, which he is an integral live member. The result is a sophisticated world music sound that is hypnotizing, passionate and highly creative. That’s the short of it!
