Katamine is a collaborative acoustic project that joins a changing cast of artists with the haunting music of successful singer/songwriter Assaf Tager. The concept was developed to create a free flowing trade of ideas, in which each artist and musician adds their own unique motives and layers to Tager's already densely beautiful work. After graduating from the London Music Academy, Tager began to take on musical projects that challenged different aspects of his ability. During this time, among other projects, he played guitar for Elliot Smith, and scored string arrangements for the pop group Moloko. Soon after, he decided to return to Israel to pursue his own goals. He became a member of the Israeli super-group "Family Butchers," which was soon asked to record by renown record producer Bob Weston ( Nirvana, Pixies, Guided By Voices, etc) but was primarily focused on his solo work, which became the idea for Katamine.
