"Doron Sadja gives life to music which is difficult, powerful, intense and delicate - all at the same time." Touching Extremes

Multimedia artist Doron Sadja celebrates his first solo electronics release since 2003's "a piece of string, a sunset" on 12k - and it's in this same realm that his endlessly imaginative sound design shines brightest. "Residuals" - on Shinkoyo Records - is a four movement, hyper-emotive, ultra-synthetic landscape. Slowly lifting off from near silence into an ethereal vacuum of swirling cacophonies and multi-tonal noise, "Residuals" never lets go. Romantic synthesizer harmonies, extreme frequencies, spectral chord blasts, and ultra-high synthesized feedback - combining to form structures so innately organic that it's easy to forget that a human (or a computer, for that matter) had anything to do with it. Tonight at Printed Matter, Sadja will perform a quadrophonic set in celebration of his new release.

In the years since his last release, Doron has not been idle, in fact he's been active across mediums: co-founding the West Nile (now "285 Kent") performance space in Brooklyn, collaborating in the groups Symbol and Ganjatronics, exploring video and performance art in his gallery and installation work (see "The Slowest Kiss" and "Crybaby", or his duo with Alfredo Marin "Alfi & Waldi" and their "Original S(t)IN(k)"). But what's striking about Residuals is how singular, focused and exciting these sounds are - evocative of early Autechre mixed with Alva Noto plus a little Badalamenti new-age bliss… Each sound given space, each movement given time, blooming naturally and with purpose.
