David Daniels has been making music for nearly twenty years. Finding comfort in the studio, Daniels is a multi-instrumentalist, playing keyboards, guitar, bass and percussion. Blending a variety of instruments, effects, synthesizers and twisted samples Daniels stitches together compositions based on the feeling and sound of the music and often uses a loop based soundscape approach to song writing. David's most recent effort is "the reflecting pool" which is a seventy-minute musical journey; a passage in time that started in September 2001. Largely an introspective and instrumental project, this outing does features 3 vocal tracks. The project was primarily influenced by the world events of the past two years and a Middle Eastern worldly vibe can be heard throughout the recording. This is Daniels' first project since 1993's "Roses and Violets."
