London, England - Tel Aviv, Israel (2000 – present)
Blackfield is a collaboration between Israeli singer-songwriter Aviv Geffen and British musician and producer Steven Wilson.
Two years back and forth on the London, England - Tel Aviv, Israel, flight path, a mutual artistic curiosity, and a close friendship gave birth to the Blackfield project.
Aviv Geffen (אביב 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 Tree in 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. In 2001 the two met in a studio in Tel Aviv with the intention of recording a one-off EP. So pleased were they and the record company with the results however, that the EP originally scheduled for release in 2001 was cancelled and the decision was made to continue writing and recording with the aim of completing a full length LP. Over the next 18 months the pair fitted in Blackfield writing and recording sessions whenever they could between their other commitments and finally in October 2003 the album was complete.
The collaborative songs alongside songs written by each separately brought a unique meeting of cultures, which resulted in a sophisticated, melodic and melancholic rock album.

S.W is taking a break after The Incident concludes. I think we will see a continuum 3, but no Blackfield III.
