Working primarily with multichannel spatialised sound – combining pristine electronics with lush romantic synthesisers, extreme frequencies, dense noise, and computer-enhanced acoustic instruments, Sadja creates post-human, hyper-emotive sonic architecture. Although each of Sadja’s works are striking in their singular and focused approach, his output is diverse: spanning everything from immersive multichannel sound pieces to sexually provocative performance / installation works, and stroboscopic smoke, mirror, laser, and projection shows.
Sadja runs the »Sound Portraits« lecture listening series and online radio show which examines the life and work of different iconic electronic music composers each month. He is a teacher at Catalyst Institute for Art and Technology in Berlin as well as running Faded Instruments, a VST/AU design company that creates experimental instruments and effects. He also runs the Dissolving Sounds blog on sound and light art, co-founded Shinkoyo Records and the West Nile performing arts venue in Brooklyn, and has curated various new music/sound festivals around New York, including the multichannel SOUNDCORRIDORS Festival, Easy Not Easy, John Cage Musicircus, and more.
Sadja has published music on 12k, ATAK, and Shinkoyo records, and has performed/exhibited at PS1 MoMa, Miami MOCA, Atonal Festival, D Museum, Hamburger Bahnhof, Norberg Festival, Cleveland Museum of Art, STEIM, EMS Stockholm, STUK, Center for Contemporary Art Amsterdam, Issue Project Room, and Roulette amongst others.
