Welcome to the Sonatronic Recordings Blog!

Welcome to the Sonatronic Recordings Blog!

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Brian Sager, and I am a composer and producer of new electronic and symphonic music, and the founder of two record labels, New Classical Music and Sonatronic Recordings. The current focus of my music is to integrate the short—term information content of electronic / dance music with the long-term narrative structure often found in the symphonic classical literature. The rhythmic framework for my music is based on the dense syncopation and polyrhythm found in breakbeats. Harmonies and melodies interact with one another over the entire length of a song, often in classical sonata form. The arrangements of my songs also fuse the trumentations of both genres. Synthetic bass lines and arpeggiated harmonies co-exist with tuneful melodies played by string instruments and woodwinds. Lead synthesizers are often co-arranged with brass instruments. It is my goal that the listener be transported into the deep structure of the music, where they can enjoy the music and hear new elements upon repeated listening.

From time to time I will post updates on new Sonatronic Recordings here. Please feel free to email me!
