KAMRAN SADEGHI ︎ABOUT

Kamran Sadeghi is a New York City–based composer, record producer, and interdisciplinary artist working across electronic music, sound art, and video. He has composed original music for dance, film, and site-specific environments, and his work has been presented in theaters, clubs, and galleries across electronic, avant-garde, audiovisual, and modern classical contexts.

In the early 2000s, under the moniker Son of Rose, Sadeghi developed a reduction-based approach, distilling recorded instruments into resonant tones. His work engaged microtonality, re-synthesis, electro-acoustics, auditory perception, and computer music. He later moved to New York City, where he worked as an assistant to the composer Morton Subotnick while contributing to Diapason, one of the first galleries dedicated to multichannel sound art.

His performances, soundtracks, collaborations, and installations have been presented at the Noguchi Museum, Kraftwerk-MaerzMusik, the Louvre Museum, HKW, ICA Boston, La Gaîté Lyrique, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, CTM Festival, KOW Gallery, MUDAM Luxembourg, MuCEM Marseille, Centre Pompidou, Berghain, the Berlin Biennale, Museo Madre, the National Museum of Singapore, Palazzo Reale, La Triennale, Radialsystem V, and Funkhaus Berlin.

Recordings and productions are published on Sternberg Press, Amenthia Recordings, The Vinyl Factory, LINE, SUPERPANG, Sacred Bones, Opal Tapes, Apollo Records, and Dragon’s Eye Recordings. As a music curator at Fridman Gallery, Public Records, and e-flux/Bar Laika, he organizes performances, commissions, and public programs.

From 2010 to 2018, Sadeghi was a founding member of Soundwalk Collective, where he worked as lead composer, sound artist, live performance director, and co-creative director, developing and producing the group’s first live works and albums. Since 2005, he has worked as a producer, mixing and mastering engineer across a range of genres, cutting lathe records, dubplates, and acetate discs. His engineering and mastering work has taken place at The Bunker Studio (NY), Strongroom Studios (UK), Scape Mastering (DE), The Magic Shop (NY), Metrosonic (NY), and Strange Weather (NY).
