Feeding Goats is the musical brainchild of Michael Hafftka (guitar) and Yonat Hafftka (theremin). Michael Hafftka is a well-known visual artist—his paintings are part of the permanent collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Brooklyn Museum of Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and others worldwide. The motivations and explorations that drive Hafftka's process as a painter are evident in his music. The long-form improvisation of Dreamtime, Feeding Goats’ seventh album and first for Destiny Records, is a perfect example of his creativity expressed through music.
Yonat Hafftka's theremin, sounding at times mystical and eerie, other times barking and percussive, is the perfect foil between the guitar textures of her husband, and of guest guitarist Cameron Mizell. Mizell brings his expertise with loopers and effects to create a wide palette of sounds for his fellow improvisors, who in turn present him with musical questions to answer and answers to question. In addition to his work with Feeding Goats, Hafftka composes music for his art installations and collaborations with other artists.
The next collaboration is with Vortice Dance Company in Portugal. Dreamtime was recorded and mixed by Yonat Hafftka at Feeding Goats Studio in Brooklyn, NY and mastered by Mike Shields in Austin, TX.
