Please join us for a post-concert reception, featuring a Q&A with Sadja led by Mario Diaz de Leon.

For his Emerging Artists Commission, Doron Sadja premieres Breath, Heart, Skin— a new work for solo electronics utilizing ISSUE’s unique multichannel sound system. Delicate, slow, and synthetic, Breath, Heart, Skin. combines pristine electronics with lush romantic synthesizers, extreme frequencies, and computer-enhanced cello/clarinet/percussion to create a post-human, hyper-emotive landscape. Doron Sadja is a Brooklyn-based sound and visual artist investigating how sound, light, movement, and the body can react to and augment the architectural, atmospheric, and psychological space of the performance environment.

Doron Sadja is a sound/visual artist originating in Los Angeles and ending in New York by way of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, London, and Berlin. Co-founder of Shinkoyo music and art collective, he currently lives in Williamsburg where he runs ParisLondonWestNile, an experimental performance space and gallery. His releases include a solo album, A Piece of String, a Sunset, as well as a collaboration with Motion (both on 12k), a collaboration with Zeljko McMullen called Sadjeljko, a solo album (Sotto Voce) on Shinkoyo, and a compilation on Atak (Japan).
