How the Safdie Sound Is Made

Since his first album, Betrayed in the Octagon (2007), which transformed the often-dismissed synthesizer sounds of 1980s New Age music into a haunting and atmospheric soundscape, the 43-year-old artist has gained recognition from many influential people in Hollywood. He’s now a go-to creative collaborator for artists like Charli XCX, ANOHNI, Soccer Mommy, and The Weeknd, who are looking to add a unique and unconventional edge to their work.
