Donatien Sade is a music producer, composer and performer. 
He makes avant-garde music for the masses.

Sapta’s back with the latest album titled ‘Black Box’. This is a powerful, introspective journey told through seven immersive tracks. With glitchy rhythms and sweeping Synth-work, the record captures Sapta’s most ambitious storytelling to date.

From scoring films and ad campaigns to selling out headline shows across India and Europe, Sapta has consistently evolved while staying deeply personal. Whether in the studio or on stage with a high-energy live setup, Sapta continues to redefine what live-electronica can sound and feel like.

Blending raw emotion with cinematic soundscapes, Sapta has carved out a distinct sonic identity across India’s electronic scene. With a career spanning 11 albums, the Chennai-born, Goa-based producer and composer continues to push creative boundaries with every release.

Black Box is a sonic vault, a place where every pulse, glitch, and breath has been archived and reimagined. Across seven expansive tracks, Sapta pieces together fragments of memory and emotion, shaping them into a body of work that feels both vast and intimate.

Drawing from Live-Electronic Music, Indian rhythmic foundations, and sweeping orchestral flourishes, Black Box unfolds like a transmission from another dimension. It’s grand in scale, yet pensive in spirit. From the explosive urgency of “Open Fire” and the cinematic weight of “Leap of Faith,” to the layered tension in “Signs & Sirens” and the hushed introspection of “Micro Expressions,” each track reveals a deeper layer of the self.

This is Sapta blurring lines between machine and myth, silence and sound. Minimal yet emotionally rich. Futuristic, but grounded in something timeless.

Black Box is not just an album. It’s what remains after the noise, a document of the journey within.

Would love to start experimental music project with somebody in Prague. Just sharing some basic ideas for songs. Anybody wants to cooperate?
