HENRIK VON COLER & DORON SADJA #52

Henrik von Coler - The “Threshold Suite" Doron Sadja - Never Endings

Spektrum Berlin Doors 19:00 / Start time 20:00

I’ll be presenting “Never Endings”, a new work for quadraphonic sound, single channel video projection, and smoke machine. Immersed in a dense fog eliminating the physical boundaries of the room, sound and light structures pan, bend, twist, and materialize throughout the space. Existing in a volatile state between nothingness and overwhelming physical power, “Never Endings” attempts to create an environment where sound, light, and smoke can manifest into seemingly tangible forms.

SOUND PORTRAITS #05 BERNARD PARMEGIANO

Sunday September 6, 2015 Doors: 19:00 / Start time 20.00 - free entrance

http://spektrumberlin.de/events/detail/sound-portraits-bernard-parmegiani-30.html

https://www.facebook.com/events/1485893778392755/ Sound Portraits is a series of listening sessions, curated by Doron Sadja, focusing on the work of iconic composers who have paved the way for contemporary electronic music. After a short introduction of each artist's life and work, we will listen to a selection of excerpts and complete works from the artist’s repertoire. Besides providing an opportunity to introduce these seminal artists to a new audience, the Sound Portraits series also offers an open forum to engage in group listening in a quiet atmosphere. Each event is free and will last approximately 1.5 hours. Bernard Parmegiani's rich body of work, spanning nearly 50 years, stands as among the most important in electronic music, influencing generations of artists within the academy and beyond - with the likes of Aphex Twin, Autechre, Keith Fullerton Whitman and Sonic Youth all citing him as a major influence. Parmegiani initially trained as a mime, a practice he often drew on when describing his music. It was Pierre Schaeffer who, in 1961, convinced him to start composing. In Schaeffer's musique concrète, the building blocks of composition were not notes and rests, but recordings. Pieces were created through collage and the transformation of acoustic sounds on tape. It was this technique that Parmegiani developed so expansively from the 1960s onwards. Animated and dynamic, Parmegiani's work is especially distinctive for its kinetic physicality and visceral presence.

SOUND PORTRAITS #4 ELIANE RADIGUE

8:00-10:00pm Sunday August 23 @ Spektrum (Berlin)

Each event is free and will last approximately 1.5 hours.

Since the 1960s Eliane Radigue (born Paris, 1932) has created a singular, powerful and individual body of work that explores slowly evolving states where musical change is perceived as environmental in scale, constant in evolution and virtually imperceptible in transformation. Often monumental in duration, her music communicates a sublime spiritual power, transporting the listener on a journey into the very heart of sound. A true original, Radigue has followed an artistic path unfettered through association to any schools and trends. She is now celebrated as a true innovator, pioneer and musical visionary.

CLOSER BEFORE WE TOUCH

[doronsadja]

CLOSER BEFORE WE TOUCH

MATA Festival Chashama Gallery, NYC

“Closer Before We Touch” is an animatronic sound sculpture exploring the interplay between physical and simulated spatialization. Exhibited in a highly visible storefront location in Manhattan’s Garment District, the work consists of a motor driven set of speakers mounted in cardboard resonating tubes (old fabric rolls collected from neighborhood stores) and two stationary speakers (one horn speaker and one hidden speaker). Alternating between waves of noise, difference tones, and quick clicking rhythms, the continuous movement of sound creates a disorienting space where the perception of depth exists in an intangible position between the real and the simulated.
