"Oren Lavie names his musical predecessors as Tom Waits, Jacques Brel, and Leonard Cohen. At the core of his melody-oriented compositions there is always the piano or the guitar with his singing, enriched by string arrangements (cello solo, quartet, chamber orchestra) and various, mainly non-electronical instruments added occasionally, giving each of the songs a unique style and color." I originally found this guy through my Communication Systems class. We're doing stop-motion videos and this guy become pretty popular on YouTube for his beautiful stop-motion video featuring his song Her Morning Elegance. I just downloaded his album so I haven't heard all of it but it's really good so far.
