KAMRAN SADEGHI ︎ABOUT



Kamran Sadeghi is a New York City–based artist working across music, performance, and installation, using sound as a sculptural material.

He performs internationally across clubs, festivals, and site-specific contexts, appearing on lineups with Tim Hecker, Richard Devine, Aho Ssan, and Moritz von Oswald, and working with Patti Smith, Nan Goldin, Zimoun, Matthew Herbert, and Sasha Waltz.

His work focuses on rhythmic patterns, spatial behavior, and sonic artifacts as compositional material. Phase relationships drift as accents cut through dense layers of sound. In Loss Less (LINE Sound Art Editions), a short signal is cycled through a defunct nuclear cooling tower, where successive recordings allow the structure’s resonance to overtake the source.

Compositions, installations, and soundtracks have been presented at the Louvre Museum, Hamburger Bahnhof, Centre Pompidou, Rubin Museum of Art, Berlin Biennale, Museum Folkwang, Noguchi Museum, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, CTM Festival, MUDAM, MuCEM, Berghain, Museo Madre, National Museum of Singapore, Palazzo Reale, Radialsystem, and Funkhaus Berlin, including the soundtrack for Approximation, released via Sternberg Press and presented at Broken Music Vol. 2 at Hamburger Bahnhof.

From 2010 to 2018, Sadeghi was a founding member of Soundwalk Collective, serving as lead composer, live performance and co-creative director, where he developed and produced the group’s first live works and albums.

He has lectured at City University of New York, Pratt Institute, and Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema, and served as a panelist for the McKnight Fellowships for Musicians.

Releases appear on Sternberg Press, LINE, The Vinyl Factory, Amenthia Recordings, SUPERPANG, Sacred Bones, Cocoon, Opal Tapes, Apollo Records, and Dragon’s Eye Recordings. Since 2005, he has also worked as a mixing and mastering engineer and record producer across a range of genres.
