Within the laboratory of his Los Angeles studio, Sahy Uhns (pronounced Science) has been producing hip-hop and electronic music since his early teenage years, creating concoctions that could only be attributed to a scientist who has simply gone mad. Born Carl Madison Burgin, the LA native draws inspiration from west coast hip-hop culture and channels his musical energy into generating new and unique sounds – recording everywhere he goes. Sahy Uhns’s use of custom designed software, hardware, modified instruments and found sounds, contributes to his unique approach to composition and production. As a compulsive music-maker, Sahy Uhns’s dedication and attention to detail are evident in the production of his studio tracks. His live performances brim with focused energy as he constantly engages the audience with live electronic drumming, scratching, and improvised audio manipulation through his custom-built computer interfaces. As a student at the California Institute of the Arts’ Music Technology department, Sahy Uhns has incorporated his studies of synthesis and musical robotics with the ideas and influences of his surroundings to formulate a fusion of music so inventive that it can only be defined by science.
