ZAAR
ZAAR is driven by the all-encompassing nordic nature. She is inspired by its contrasts and how it doesn't compromise. With her spherical, heartfelt, and melancholic musical atmospheres ZAAR meets you in an autumn forest, the one she grew up next to. She cuts into this alluring nature with a distorted reality. Blends daydreaming with storytelling, creating a personal collage. ZAAR writes and performs with what she has available at each moment in time.

Her most recent setup is her voice and her home-built pedalboard. She plays the bass with her feet on an electronic organ and invites various musicians to play alongside her on stage.

October 2019she released her debut EP ‘Lost My Sense Of Humour’

Sandrayati Fay
Sandrayati Fay is a performing artist, singer-songwriter. Her voice carries emotion with potent vulnerability and strength as if calling her listeners to the intimacy of each tone with intention and grace.
Filipina-Irish-American heritage, Sandrayati was born and raised on the islands of Indonesia to environmental and indigenous rights activist parents, leading to an eclectic upbringing inspiring the themes of her songs. Influenced by the storytelling of folk music, she is often reminiscent of legends, Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell, with a modern extension into the world of electric tones.

Cultivating art in many forms, Sandrayati studied theatre at Emerson College in Boston where she developed her captivating performance dynamic and delved deep into discovering her voice, inspiring her to continue studies at Berklee
College of Music in 2015.
Sandrayati’s debut live EP, Bahasa Hati (Language of the heart), independently released in 2017, lures you in with lyrical prose, poetry, and sounds of the mountain where she grew up. Her 3-year collaboration with Indonesian artists, Danilla Riyadi and Rara Sekar as ‘Daramuda Project’ released two EPs, ‘Salam Kenal’ and ‘Selamat Tinggal’, creating a platform for supporting women in the independent creative industry of Indonesia.

Her latest EP, ‘Nest’, was self-recorded and released in Iceland where she is now based. She is currently finishing her debut studio album, “Safe Ground”.
