DOHMA | EHMN | AMHOD

Donnie Martin is an electronic music performer-composer, sound synthesist, and educator committed to exploring unique sonic experiences and perspectives. Much of his work exhibits expressive control and movement of organic timbres within a modular synthesizer. Martin combines elements of Avant-Garde, noise, techno, and ambient electronic music while traversing the outer edges of musical perception.

Martin’s work as DOHMA seeks to dismantle the core of typical underground club scenes with a sound that extracts order from madness and cohesion from contrast. His distinctive live sets deliver a powerful statement on the dancefloor exploring complex rhythms with layers of off-kilter sample loops, complex modular textures, and idiosyncratic percussion. While his previous livesets relied on meticulously designed Ableton Live templates and MIDI control, he shifted in 2020 to an improvised hardware setup. DOHMA represents the energy of natural discovery while emphasizing improvisation in both production and performance mediums. In 2021, he released his raucous single, Everything is Derivative, on the Boston-based label, PUZL Records.

Through the EHMN project, Martin explores complex concepts by drawing influence from the beauty and ugliness of the dichotomies and imperfections of nature and the human condition. In 2021, he composed a fixed-media piece, First Exhale, an expression of temporal reality of conscious existence from our first breath to our last. He delivered another short work later that year, Anxygdala, a conceptual piece inspired by the experience of internal coping during an anxiety attack. Based on the concept of “being honeyed” described in an excerpt from Merleau-Ponty’s 1945 book, Phenomenology of Perception, Honey is the Martin’s first multi-channel work composed for Max and modular synthesizer. Composed in 2022, the piece presents an aural experience that blurs the audience’s perception of the location of individual sound sources through in-air sound synthesis.

Conversely, Amhod is a return to Martin’s roots as a classically trained violinist of 30 years with a modern nuance. This minimal project strips the synthesizers and computers away from his primary toolkit and holds nature close to the heart while he creates vast soundscapes amid washed loops layers of violin. The result is an ambient collage of tonal and timbral exploration from a single instrument. The drastic vagaries and isolation during the peak of COVID-19 in 2020 prompted Martin to record The Great Empty EP, which was an improvised manifestation of rediscovering one’s purpose. All proceeds earned from the Bandcamp release were donated to the Boston chapter of the NAACP.

In 2023, he co-authored a paper with Paul Geluso and Lars Graugaard published to the AES International Conference on Spatial and Immersive Audio focusing on in-air sound synthesis and the creative applications of multi-channel sound systems in electronic music composition, performance, and installations. This mode of sound synthesis uses the three-dimensional interaction between polarity-inverted copies of sound waves within acoustic environments.

Martin currently teaches fundamental and advanced electronic music and sound synthesis courses at NYU Steinhardt to undergraduate and graduate students. In class, he promotes a guided freedom of exploration in his classes with goal-oriented assignments that encourage focused experimentation and discovery. His teaching philosophy and curriculum centers around his unwavering belief that progress is fueled by curiosity and hindered by perfection while the basic dimensions of sound can be individual tools to elevate his students’ sonic creations and expressions.

One of the most highly respected acts in both techno and industrial circles, Orphx (Rich Oddie and Christina Sealey) have been refining their signature fusion of hypnotic rhythms and experimental noise for many years. They began in the early 90s with a raw sound inspired by old school industrial but soon began incorporating elements of dub, techno and electro into their work. Orphx built up an international following as one of the pioneering acts within the European "rhythmic noise" scene. More recently their work has come to the attention of techno fans through a series of acclaimed releases on the Sonic Groove label, collaborative work with the likes of Ancient Methods and Justin Broadrick, and remixes for many artists including Front Line Assembly, Oscar Mulero, Perc, and Conrad Schnitzler.

Oddie and Sealey have performed around the world at celebrated venues like Berghain and Tresor, and festivals such as Berlin Atonal, Movement, Mutek, and Unsound. They are renowned for their improvised performances, combining software with modular synthesizers and other hardware. Building on a sprawling back catalogue that stretches across industrial, ambient, and techno, their recent output has demonstrated that Orphx are both pioneers and innovators in the fusion of rhythm and noise.
