This is Olimpia, inspired by E.T.A. Hoffmann's "The Sandman". It's one song of our project called "Machinery". The Intention of "Machinery" is to make songs about mankind and the society as machinery.

Safran is a German band roaming on the ridge between Experimental Folk and Jazz, a mixture of Portishead and the Beatles, John Cage and Lady Gaga. The four/five musicians use eight instruments to create a distinctive and extensive but always surprising sound. The multifarious voice of Klaus Schüller (v, g, sax, synth) layers over the sometimes spheric, sometimes clear-cut foundation laid by Ben Briggmann (b), Jonathan Klein(p), Mats Niepmann (dr, sax) and Markus Richter (sax). With a strictly adhered distance to the rest of the music scene, Safran create counter-intuitive and strangely familiar compositions and songs to appease your thirst for musical progression.
