Enigmatic complexity and linguistic dynamism are integral elements for Sam Israël, as language, music, and imagery are intricately intertwined in his artistic expression. The form, handwriting, color, emotion, and visual qualities are all interwoven in his various forms of expression. Similar to the way colors in his visual works sometimes juxtapose in a jarring manner, while the meaning of the piece is not immediately clear, his texts also possess layers that may not immediately unfold to the listener. This is similar to the relation between the consonants and dissonants in his songs, which are usually not simple harmonic triads, but a occasionally erratic yet consistently composed journey through life.
