In 2005 Kamran released his first record under the alias Son Of Rose. During this time he performed live using a grand piano with electronic magnets on the strings – “…Sadeghi’s use of the slow-swelling properties of the E-bow filtering through subterranean museums of opaque, glassy dreamscapes like a less oppressive version of Halo Manash’s Isolationist Ambience. Disarming Stuff.” – The WIRE Magazine
In 2008 Kamran put the traditional output of making albums on pause to create multi-channel sound installations and performances that combined his custom designed interactive video compositions. During this period he was awarded an artist residency at E.T.C.- producing work using the Nam June Paik ‘Wobbulator’, worked for composer Morton Subotnick and became co-curator of one of the first galleries dedicated to multi-channel Sound Art, Diapason. Active in the contemporary music scene in New York he performed at Issue Project Room, Experimental Intermedia, The Stone and many others.
From 2012 to 2018, Sadeghi was vital in the transition of the audio tour guide company, Soundwalk, into the music group Soundwalk Collective – As the former commissioned music producer, sound artist and live performance director, Kamran wrote music for multiple performers,custom designed instruments and produced studio albums from non-musical field recordings.
