works as composer, improviser, sound-artist and curator in Jerusalem. Originally coming from a classical background, he turned his attention towards Metal and Modern music, and started performing at the age of 14. As an improviser Sachs has collaborated with
Oren Ambarchi,
Thomas Koener, Marc Behrens, Achim Wollscheid, @c, Eric Boros,
Sebastian Meissner and many others, mainly playing his self-developed system, the No-Input-Mixer, which he has been playing since 1998. He plays this machine regularly in the Doom-Dub-Noise outfit
Lietterschpich, (whose album “I Cum Blood in the Think Tank” was recently described as “Noise album of the Year” by Aquarius Records in SF) and John Zorn's "Cobra" improvising ensemble in Israel. He has presented his works and compositions at festivals such as
Sonorities (Belfast), club transmediale (Berlin),
Festival for Jewish Culture (Krakow) and
Theaterformen (Hannover), as well as spaces and platforms such as
Sonic Square (Brusseles),
Podewil,
Haus der Kulturen der Welt (Berlin),
Melkweg (Amsterdam),
Israeli Cinemateques,
Kulturbunker (Cologne),
Muffathalle (Munich),
Sonic Process,
Heara and many others. His work "Studio" with sculptor Eytan Ronel was awarded the Excellence Award by the NY
International Fringe Festival. He also has collaborated extensively with sound artist Sebastian Meissner (Klimek, Random INC.), with whom he has recently released “Into The Void” (on Sub Rosa), a reflection on the old abandonded Jewish quarter Kazimierz in the city of Krakow. His works have been released on Mille Plateaux and Sub-Rosa, as well as various labels in Israel. As a sound-artist his works tend fuse the sonic with the political, as in the case of "Yannun Yannun", which portrays the harrasment of Palestinian villagers by fanatic right-wing settlers. He founded and managed the Yad-Vashem bookstore – the only holocaust dedicated bookstore in Israel.
