Doron Sadja - A Piece of String, a Sunset (12k, 2003)

Label de Taylor Deupree, 12k a incontestablement une ligne esthétique très forte, parfois trop écrasante je dirais même. Traitement de bruits numériques microscopiques, travail sur les fréquences et les rythmes, le cahier des charges est ici encore bien respecté. Jusqu'à l'arrivée surprise d'une guitare qui vient ouvrir de nouveaux horizons sur le dernier titre, tout en faisant fortement penser à Fennesz. Salué par la critique comme un premier album prometteur, il reste à ce jour le seul album sorti par son auteur à ma connaissance. Et c'est dommage, car le dernier morceau contenait des promesses d'émancipation qu'on aurait aimé ne pas voir rester sans suite!

Ce qu'en disait le label :
Doron Sadja's debut release, A Piece Of String, A Sunset, is a five-movement CD 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 Sunsett 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, the sparse pulse of rhythmic static, and the continuously present expressive meandering of a sul pont Violin (played by Amie Weiss) and loops of manipulated guitar (played by John Anderson) forming a highly synthetic yet still organic body of music.
Doron has collaborated with 12k's Motion, during a recent extended stay in London (a portion of which will be released on the 12k/LINE double cd compilation in autumn 2003), as well as Pony (Matt Mehlan, Seve Martinez, andAnthony Lowe), John Anderson, Climax, and dancer Jean Copeland. His liveshows include laptop, homemade electronics, accordion, and/orcassette loop and mixerloop manipulation. Doron is currently studying Technology in Music and Related Arts at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in Ohio and is also the co-founder of the electronic music label Shinkoyo.
