Release Notes:
Malka Spigel fell into the music and art world as a Tel-Aviv exile
in early 1980s Amsterdam. Minimal Compact, which she co-founded
with Berry Sakharof (now Israel's biggest and most respected rock
star) and Samy Birnbach (latterly DJ Morpheus), and in which she
played bass and contributed occasional vocals, pioneered a minimal
post-punk/punk-funk sound that over seven years attracted a large,
enthusiastic audience in continental Europe and beyond. During the
period 1981 to 1988 the band grew to include drummer Max Franken
(now Githead's drummer) and guitarist Rami Fortis (notorious in
Israel as its first punk) and were associated with many
luminaries, recording with Tuxedomoon's Peter Principle, Wire's
Colin Newman, and John Fryer (This Mortal Coil), sound-tracking
ballet by choreographer Pierre Droulers, and having a song (sung
by Malka) in the Wim Wender's movie Wings of Desire.
Malka's working partnership with Colin Newman started in 1986 with
Commercial Suicide and its follow up It Seems. The couple married
in 1986 and moved to London in 1992, setting up the Swim label,
initially to release their own projects (Oracle, Malka's debut
Rosh Balata, and Immersion), but later to release the work of
other artists. In 1996, Immersion made an installation at IMMA
Dublin, which set Malka on a path of realising herself as a visual
artist in addition to being a musician. During the period 2000 to
2002 she gained a degree in fine art, specialising in video and
photography. She has since made video work with Immersion (most
famously seen at the Royal Festival Hall, London) and video clips
for Vapourspace and Minimal Compact. She also has an extensive
collection of photography work, primarily created with a lomo LCA
camera, which has gained her pre-eminence in the lomo community.
