The ensemble`s name – the hebrew word for "sail" – the musicians of "Mifrás" have chosen deliberately. It is a metaphor for their quest of not very explored fields of music, joint as a band remotely placed from ruling composition and improvisation clichés. From the desert to the big city and the deep blue sea the four as well curious as artistically versatile musicians move through a cosmos of composition and improvisation that appears to be open by surprising variety yet never indefinite.
