New album from Croptal

Hailing from Kefar Sava in Israel, musician Tal Yaniv has recently unveiled his latest sonic project that sees him craft cinematic instrumental music under the Tal Yaniv alias. Deriving the moniker ‘croptal’ from his own name; ‘Yaniv’ means yield, or crop, in Hebrew, the artist previously became known as the co-producer and keyboard player for the band Avtipus.

As Croptal, he draws on his accomplished experience on keys to create stunning soundscapes of electronic and experimental style. With piano, synths and computer percussion, the Croptal experience is captivating and thought-provoking.

In 2021, he unveiled the project with the debut single “Long Haul” which he followed up with the first full-length record Works 2020-2022 released last year. Now he brings us his latest work with the brand new album titled Variations.

Across the nine-track LP, the artist offers a compelling sonic journey that ventures through a range of different styles including folk, dance, neo-classical and electronic wrapped up in a classical music format that separates pieces that each reference the preceding compositions. Opened by the delicate solo piano-based track “Theme, Piano”, throughout Variations, Croptal provides a dynamic musical evolution that builds to a mesmerising finale.

Blending live performances of piano and orchestral instrumentation with synthesisers, spliced percussion and tape loops, with his latest album, the talented artist spins his magnum opus that showcases the depth of his expansive creative vision on a new album that’s spellbinding from start to finish.
