In Amir's various works, he deals with connections between the musical language of the electrical world, the 'electronic solfege', and structures and motivations arising from the occult Jewish tradition. The mystical approach of the sages of the Jewish tradition towards the text and their ability to have an intimate and even erotic relationship with the text of the Torah, as well as the descriptions of the mystical experience and its desire to expand the limits of human experience, constitute a prototype and inspiration for the encounter with the world of electricity in music as an intimate dialogic encounter.
