Saphileaum

On 4th of October 2022, via the project ‘Stihia Beyond’, 15 seconds from Saphileaum’s track ‘Cosmic Lake Transparency’ were sent into outer space to planet K2-18B located 124 light years away from Earth. Transmission took place in England, Goonhilly Earth Station. Saphileaum is the second person in history of Georgia, whose music was sent into deep space. Saphileaum is one of the names of Georgian multi-media artist, Andro Gogibedashvili. Andro is a grandchild of famous Georgian national singer Temur Tsiklauri and growing up in a musical and art family had a big impact on him to start creating his own personal work. The moniker Saphileaum is highly inspired by esoteric, mystic, new age, cosmic and visionary art and teachings, which hold a huge role and are a source of constant inspiration in artist’s art and life in general. Saphileaum’s sound alchemy is often described as cosmic, spherical, light, visionary, new age, innovative, tribal, relaxing and aware. All these interpretations blossom and unite in his production. When it comes to Saphileaum’s, Andro’s main oceans to sail are Ambient, Techno, Downtempo, Dub, Breakbeat, Half Beat, Tribal and sort of his vision of an Ambient Tropical House. Saphileaum’s discogprahy counts various EP’s, LP’s and VA releases over the past 7 years including records such as Transpersonal Experience, Ornaments, The Traveler, Echoes of the Physical World, Ganbana, etc… Over the years the artist has developed his own handwriting, which makes his sound, atmosphere and storytelling a remarkable and unique experience. Apart from Saphileaum, Andro has created music and art under two other different monikers in the past. Marquess Evergreen was his pseudonym for making music for meditation and writing fairy tales. As for Farewell Warm Fields, it was a project mainly focused on breakbeat, downtempo, house, exploring the nostalgia and romance of the people and places around the artist. Andro also finds passion in writing poetry and parables, drawing, fashion, collage artworks and physolophy. ✤ Booking: kuba@khidi.ge ✤ Contact: saphileaum@yahoo.com
