Biography
Iranian-born electronic music producer Kamran Sadeghi, now based in New York, moves between minimal tech-house and installation art. His meticulous, process-driven approach yields immersive and hypnotic sonic environments.
After the Islamic Revolution, his family settled in the United States. During childhood he gravitated toward visual art and skateboarding, only turning to music production in his late teens. Early aspirations to become a jazz drummer shifted toward an interest in sound design and studio craft. Beginning in 2000, he issued experimental recordings as Son of Rose, feeding acoustic instruments through real-time computer synthesis. Under that alias he released Top Flight (2006) and Divisions in Parallel (2007) on Yann Novak’s Dragon’s Eye imprint, followed by All In (2009) on Blanket Fields.
His debut under his own name, Through Thickness, appeared in 2008 on Dragon’s Eye and remained experimental, merging electro-acoustic textures with abstract electronic rhythms. The same year he relocated from Seattle to New York and began concentrating on sound art, scoring installations that included a piece captured inside an abandoned nuclear cooling tower. He also worked intermittently with the experimental Soundwalk Collective.
His next album, 2014’s Together We Breathe on All Inn, marked his first clear turn toward dance music, presenting a buoyant, minimal tech-house sound built around atypical found-sound elements. Approximation, issued in 2015 by Sternberg Press, returned him to gallery contexts as an installation soundtrack. Ritual Signal, released in 2019 on the Romanian label Amphia, continued in a minimal tech-house vein yet grew darker and more reduced than its predecessor. During this period he also put out several 12"s, most notably 2016’s “Astral Body” on Meander.
