Gadi Sassoon

Gadi Sassoon

Gadi Sassoon is a classically trained composer and transmedia electronic artist from Milan whose work spans traditional music releases and live installations.

Exploring the boundaries of contemporary music, Sassoon is pushing the sonic and technological frontiers of electronic music and relationships between recorded music, installations, and music creation. 

Using sophisticated DIY and experimental systems to create deep listening experiences rich in texture and emotion, Sassoon’s work can be found capturing the hearts of fans at electronic festivals, research institutions, and art galleries worldwide (ie. Sonar Festival Barcelona, EMPAC, United Nations, TEDx). 

2025 will see the release of Sassoon’s third album Modes of Vibration which exists across three formats: a traditional album, a groundbreaking live performance and art installation, and a unique piece of software developed especially for the record, created with support from NEMUS (Numerical Restoration of Historical Musical Instruments) and audio plugin maker Physical Audio for the live recording of the album and software development. 

Modes of Vibration is a continuation of Sasson’s exploration of the intersection of music and technology, following on from his previous albums Chaos & Order (ASIP 2022) and Multiverse (ASIP, 2020) which were the result of research with physicists and mathematicians, exploring the interplay between sound synthesis, live orchestras, and algorithmically modelled ‘impossible instruments’.

Sassoon also recently collaborated with British Artist Reeps One on Fusion, a musical piece created for the Leipzig International Ballet and the Leipzig Opera, receiving international acclaim. 

Outside of performing, Sassoon also composes soundtracks for film companies, collaborates on works with artists at major and independent labels (ASIP, Island, Warner, Universal, Ninja Tune), and is published by Just Isn’t Music, Ninja Tune’s publishing arm.
