Safar is the result of 14 music producers' efforts over a duration lasting almost 2 months. The project is based around the theory of psychological reactance. It began as a way to test how creativity and inspiration manifested itself in different ways for different artists given the same starting points.The Epoch of Dali is the first offering by Safar, a group of 12 music producers from around the world. It's a kaleidoscopic testament to what inspiration and creativity in the spirit of community can offer. Ranging from techno and electronica to breakbeat-infused grooves and ambient soundscapes.

The Epoch of Dali

Celeste, the second compilation from Safar, is a first/one of a kind project fusing the concepts of space and time. 

The boundaries of experimentation were hurled open this time to put across a pallet of pure(unadulterated) expression. Much like earlier, we selected (decided on) one picture from a collection of images, that would guide the overarching theme of the project. Each member offered 2 samples that captured the mood/emotion of the picture into a shared sample pool, which served as the starting point of all tracks. But unlike last time, instead of riding the constant pulse of 4/4, we got weird with our time signatures. Multiple odd time signatures were chosen and assigned to members randomly, to equal amounts of joy and dismay - all in the spirit of play and fun. We gave ourselves 2 months to audit the samples from the pool and create the tracks. The result is an eclectic mix of 16 sonic journeys(Safar) that hold a shared idea while at the same time being fluid in genres and time. Taking you for a planetary escapade to a brand new (unexplored) solar system where time and space intertwine with melodies.

Celeste

Prahar ( प्रहर ), is an aural-visual experiment in studying the passage of time and its effect on the human psyche in the span of 24 hours. Prahar, in Sanskrit, means a 3-hour slice of a day. This project is an attempt to catalog the moods and interpretations of each Prahar using field recordings recorded via phone to make music and use pictures from these places as inspiration to create visual artworks.

A mega collaborative effort between music producers and visual artists in personal stylistic exploration while having an overarching theme in mind. The result is a project consisting of 19 tracks and 8 artworks that deliver a cohesive experience from start to end, much like the movement of time itself.

'Perceptions I' journeys across different realms from drum and bass to broken beats through glitch-hop while continually inhabiting a progressive space that breathes novelty and inventiveness. Each composition feels alive, supple, and evolving.

We invite the listeners for a deep dive into the VA to unravel the ineffable and experience the raw emotions firsthand.

Audio Units - Hidden Variables

Audio Units’ ‘Hidden Variables’ builds through an otherworldly vibe and broken beats while creating anticipation for what's to come next. On each repetition, one tends to find something new in the track. The track has an air of equal parts enticement and apprehension, a rare combination.

PREMIERE: Audio Units - Hidden Variables [Safar Collective]

Step into our world, where art is more than just a form of expression, it's a way of life. We are a left-field community of seekers, constantly pushing boundaries and exploring the unknown. We embrace experimentation, and through our shared enthusiasm for art, we have created a supportive community that nurtures growth and learning.

At our core, we believe that art is about self-expression, and we encourage artists of all disciplines to explore their innermost thoughts and emotions through their work. Our community is a space where creativity is not only welcomed, but celebrated.

We showcase emerging and established artists alike, providing a platform for those whose self-expression is left-field in nature. From avant-garde to experimental, we are passionate about all forms of artistic expression, and we strive to inspire and challenge our audience with each new creation.

Through collaboration and peer learning, we have created a space where artists can grow and learn from one another. Our community is a melting pot of diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and styles, and we believe that it is through this diversity that we are able to create truly innovative and groundbreaking art.
