Doron Sadja, a native of Los Angeles, is currently studying Technology In Music And Related Arts (TIMARA) at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in Ohio. Frustrated with rock bands, he began experimenting with old synthesizers and 2-tracks made of dumpster pieces, creating pseudo noisepieces. Eventually moving towards computer based music, his projects still include homemade electronic instruments and cassette experiments. Works have been included in the Threshold Festival (Indiana).

a piece of string, a sunset is a five movement piece 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, pulsating minimalist click beats, and the continuously present expressive meandering of a sol pont Violin, forming a highly electronic yet still organic work of music.

Recent collaborations include Pony (Matt Mehlan, Seve Martinez, andAnthony Lowe), John Anderson, Climax, and dancer Jean Copeland. Liveshows may include laptop, homemade electronics, accordion, and/orcassetteloop and mixerloop manipulation. Doron is also the co-founder of the electronic music label Shinkoyo.
