│ │
│ Avihen Livne, 23, the Israeli musician/producer better known as Cosma, │
│ was about to release his 2nd album, "Nonstop", on March 2003. │
│ Following the album's release, he was scheduled for a world tour. │
│ To prepare himself for this exciting stage of his musical career, he │
│ decided to take some time off in Goa, India. │
│ On February 10, while driving back from Palulim beach to his hotel, he │
│ was involved in a motorcycle accident. │
│ He was hospitalized, but despite all medical efforts, he passed away. │
│ │
│ Avihen was a special person, a best friend and a talented musician who │
│ was loved by all. │
│ His music was played, heard and hailed worldwide as he was a person who │
│ had so much in him that he could give so much to others with his music │
│ His music is his legacy │
│ We will remember him forever! │
│ -Eyal Yankovich (HOMmega Productions)- │
│ │
│ "I'm in love with the music. │
│ I hope I can live like this for the rest of my life..." │
│ -(From Avihen's last interview, Layla Magazine, Israel)- │

│ │
│ --==[Album Review]==-- │
│ │
│ The much awaited Cosma debut album is here, and what an enjoyable │
│ thing it is. Some will say this is the perfect blend between the │
│ Swedish open and relaxed crunch and the Israeli massive full power │
│ danceable style. I rather say this is a mature and interesting │
│ album, with open, yet penetrating sounds. It's an album with a nice │
│ story, enough diversity, but also unity. An album perfect to sit at │
│ home and move your head to, and also full of party killer tracks. │
│ │
│ It opens with the powerful moving and very emotional Sleep of Peace, │
│ with guest Domestic. A true joy and perfect for the first glimpse of │
│ sunlight - entering the morning hymns' pantheon. Right after that │
│ relaxed opening, it's booming time with 3 killer tracks- one after │
│ the other- no remorse. Your 911 (T2) brings in the crunch factor. │
│ Massive, larger than life, sounds, funky groove that makes you │
│ wanna jump, and powerful enveloping atmophere. This track reveals one │
│ of Cosma's talents- surprising turns and powerful returns. A floor │
│ sweeper and food for the mind and spirit. Find Out (T3) is the same │
│ story but much better! An eluding opening, carrying you inside, till │
│ you get hit by the powerful kick- no words- just dive in that long │
│ sweeping journey and (practically) ride the sounds!!! Oh, and that │
│ break... Out of Range (T4) ends the first part of the album, another │
│ massive one- nice freestyling intro, and than the power kicks in, │
│ full on power twisting around with great groove that'll make all │
│ move. The story moves simlessly into Simplicity (T5), an ambient track │
│ dividing the album in two. A very atmospheric interval, that doesn't │
│ really stands on it's own though. Again the move to Cosmatic (T6) is │
│ flawless and all this three tracks basically sound as one unit. │
│ Moslem prayers which remind me of Jerusalem open a more relaxed track │
│ in a pre-dawn atmophere. When the track opens up in the middle, you're │
│ gonna fly. Humen Evolution (T7) is a nice track, but my least favorite │
│ here- not interesting enough. Saffy Smoke A Lot (T8) is in a more │
│ clubby atmosphere, a relaxing groovy and very spacey one, very │
│ Platiupsy. Ending the CD is Cusanam, the beginning might raise some │
│ question marks, but after a little over than 2 minutes, you'll get the │
│ message- full on melodic clubby track with sounds that give me │
│ goose bumps and great breaking and entering work. │
│ │
│ Recomendation: Best release in Israel in 2001. One of the best albums │
│ of 2001 worldwide. It's real fun to listen to repeatedly, with all that │
│ needs to be in a release: mind, emotions, feel, diversity and a story. │
│ GET IT! │

│ --==[Biography]==-- │
│ │
│ Avihen started his musical way (like most teenagers in the Krayot, he │
│ told us) in the dark clubs of Haifa and the area, listening to new wave │
│ and more electronic stuff - Depeche Mode, Sisters of Mercy, The Cure, │
│ Front 242 etc. Then trance arrived, he said, and put some consciousness │
│ between everybodyÆs feet and brain - that affected him as well, and after │
│ a lot of parties he started to make music in 1998. As he has been into │
│ computers since he was very young, making music with the computer was │
│ natural to him. │
│ He worked first with Benny Risher as Diablo. Benny, born 1974, has been │
│ DJing since the age of 14, and after a visit to Goa in 1995 got hooked │
│ up on trance for good. They released one Album - Insufficient Memory in │
│ Pandora records in 1999. Avihen wrote 5 of the tracks and another 4 │
│ where co-written with Benny, who produced the album. They also released │
│ two tracks on compilations: Hop She Goes... & Papa (Space Mantra). │
│ The guys decided to part ways after the album and Avihen started to work │
│ under the name Cosma (suggested by DJ Jorg of SST). Avihen said a lot │
│ has changed since in the way he grasps music and in the making of it. │
│ Part of it he owed to working together with other people like Ido Ophir │
│ (Domestic) and Erez Eizen (Infected Mushroom). │
│ │
│ September 2001. Avihen releases his debut solo album "Simplicity" │
│ (BNE/Yoyo). This album was considered a milestone release in every │
│ aspect as Avihen found a new formula of Israeli trance that swept the │
│ world off its feet. He took the direction of trance into a broader │
│ perspective; "Simplicity" was characterized by a big clear quality sound │
│ cruising through a deeper vibe, taking in funky beat, progressive, │
│ electronics and ambience while sounding fresh all the way. "If you were │
│ in the right mood, "Simplicity" could be a religious experience"(DJ │
│ magazine). After the release of this album, Cosma became an established │
│ name and Avihen performed live all around the globe (England, Japan, │
│ Germany, Switzerland, Mexico, Brazil, Greece, Denmark, Belgium, │
│ Hungary...). │
│ │
│ Avihen moved on to signing his new album, "Nonstop", to the Israeli │
│ label HOMmega. In this album (to be released in his memory on June 2003) │
│ he swept many influences. Nonstop is a juicy and innovative journey into │
│ trance. Dark and pounding, not for lightweights, Cosma's music rocks │
│ your core without beating your brains out, All while keeping his famous │
│ trademark - his unique cosmic atmosphere. │
│ │
│ As stated in the beginning, Avihen was about to release his new album │
│ and to embark a world tour. All this will not happen now, neither will │
│ the many plans he had and the huge musical future that awaited him. He │
│ was a special person, a good friend and a talented musician who was │
│ loved by all. A person who had so much in him that he could give so much │
│ to others with his music. His music is his legacy. We will remember him │
│ forever! │
