Musical Constellations is built on an Ubuntu concept: a person is a person through other people.
As a Pakistani music journalist, I have often heard people say Pakistani music feels repetitive. But music discovery is boring when algorithms decide who you hear.
That's why this website is centred around Miracle Mangal, an indie producer collective that has been shaping the sound of household artists like Hasan Raheem, Abdul Hannan, and Young Stunners. Through their various collaborations we will build out the Pakistani music universe.
Select any artist and listen to their collaborations.
From Qawwali to Hip Hop, see how genres connect.
About me
I'm a product designer and published UX researcher who moonlights as a music journalist for Hamnawa, Aurora (Dawn Media) and beehype. Musical Constellations is where both sides of that meet.
Grateful to Zeerak Ahmed for his guidance and access to Hamnawa analytics, Li Zhang (instructor of AD 609, where this project began), and to everyone who helped test this idea.
