A collaboration between Israeli singer songwriter ×ביב גפן(Aviv Geffen) and British musician and producer Steven Wilson. Two years back and forth on the London-Tel-Aviv flight path, a mutual artistic curiosity, and a close friendship are the components that gave birth to Aviv and Steven's Blackfield project. ×ביב גפן, a highly successful solo artist and outspoken (not to mention controversial) peace campaigner, with a string of gold albums in his own country, discovered the music of Steven's band Porcupine Treein the mid 90's and followed their career development. In 2000 he invited the band to perform some concerts in Israel and met with Steven in London to discuss the idea. Something clicked and before long they had already collaborated on the very first Blackfield song.

Blackfield
here's a song from an open mind
i give it to you because i can
and if you're thinking that it's not that kind
it cause my mood swings
make me feel ashamed
it can pass the time
a girl with eyes that see a hundred years
half remembered, this is my dream
spinning out from where the hole appears
i've never seen her
but i've got photographs
it can blow your mind
an idea falls from a porcelain sky
it won't make you rich
and it won't get you high
(out of the)
out of the void it comes
from an open mind
(out of the)
out of the void it comes
it comes from my mind
