Doron
Sadja's debut release, a piece of string, a sunset, is
a five movement CD exploring the subtle fluctuations in tone and
amplitude created by the combination of sinewaves nearly identical
in pitch. Utilizing a 144 note per octave scale, a piece of
string, a sunset is made up of chords containing notes 1/12
a semitone apart, with a heavy emphasis on pitches near the threshold
of human audibility. These extreme frequencies are combined with
the randomatomization of data/sound files, the sparse pulse of
rhythmic static, and the continuously present expressive meandering
of a sul pont Violin (played by Amie Weiss) and loops of manipulated
guitar (played by John Anderson) forming a highly synthetic yet
still organic body of music.
Doron has collaborated with 12k's Motion, during a recent extended
stay in London (a portion of which will be released on the 12k/LINE
double cd compilation in autumn 2003), as well as Pony (Matt Mehlan,
Seve Martinez, andAnthony Lowe), John Anderson, Climax, and dancer
Jean Copeland. His liveshows include laptop, homemade electronics,
accordion, and/orcassette loop and mixerloop manipulation. Doron
is currently studying Technology in Music and Related Arts at
the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in Ohio and is also the co-founder
of the electronic music label Shinkoyo.
