About the album:
Kerman/Berlin – Noise à Noise is proudly announcing the release of Shahab Jafari’s latest album, The Blind City. This Contemporary Classical music album tells the story of a serene village disrupted by a malevolent force, unfolding its narrative through four captivating tracks.
Shahab Jafari (b. 1992 in Kerman, Iran) is a distinguished art researcher and composer with a specialized Ph.D. in art research, focusing on music. He is renowned for his exploration of diverse sounds using elements of Iranian art and reflecting social and philosophical themes in his compositions. His previous releases include Dream, an EP from 2024, and Kowli, a single also released in 2024.
In the creation of The Blind City, Shahab Jafari took on the role of composer, crafting intricate and impactful soundscapes. The instrumental performances include Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, and Cello by Meysam Marvasti, and piano by Behnam Abolghasem. The album was recorded at Arshavir Studio with the expertise of Navid Shahbeiky. Visual elements were provided by Sayeh Parsaei, who handled painting and illustration, while Sepersa managed the graphic design and visual identity. Creative coding for the video teasers was done by Owrang. Finally, mixing, mastering, and overall project management were overseen by Soheil Soheili.
A special thank you goes to Ehsan Saboohi for his initial guidance in the overall development of the compositions, and to the people at Dezhakam Music Academy for their support throughout this project. I also want to extend my gratitude to my music student, Farshad Karimi, for his valuable assistance with computer score notation.
