The sounds you get out of a bass guitar are simply exquisite.

I could listen to a whole album in this style, really nice atmosphere also

Perfect soundtrack for a broken city scene at 3am! Nice filter effect, like a bad patch cord working for you instead of against you ;-)

So many gorgeous turns here! Playing and use of effects is spot on... Elevating the instrument! Superb Daniel...

Beautiful textures and a lovely sense of space, Daniel

I decided to try another  Rory Gallagher cover "For The Last Time" from his first solo album. A great tune from on of my favourite artists and guitar players.

For The Last Time (Rory Gallagher Cover)

Cards are flying in the smoky air
Shadows dancing but nobody cares
The table's hot
The stakes are cold
The stories whispered are as good as gold
[Prechorus] Eyes like daggers
Hearts on fire
Who’s the liar
Who’s the buyer
[Chorus] Aces high
Let 'em fly
All or nothing
Do or die
Aces high
Feel the rush
The room goes silent
Then the crush

Aces high .mp3

Simple Original track
Lyrics/vocals by me
Music made in GarageBand

When I was younger I sometimes got depressed. I didn't know how to handle it. But as I got older I become more known with my mind and body, and learned how to deal with it in advance, recognize the signals that came first... And I got through  :)

Lyrics:

I see the big black hole
Right in front of me
Whispering evil in my ear...
Must avoid falling into it
Have courage
Show no fear....

My heart is beating
My blood is pumping
Can I find another way.....
Feeling lost
Feeling scared
Should I run, or should I stay....?

Small steps around the hole
Falling to the ground...
So much pain as I crawl
But I got through
A new day just began....

I got through!

I Got Through (Original)

Rockin' Out

Tuliping

Here's a flashback from my past that's still in the present moment!
 
Somehow, I just Know you'll love this one! :-D

This was the first thing to come out of my opening improvisational set at 'The Light House Pub' on Saturna Island as I let my fingers do the talkin' on December 16th 2015. 😎 

 I was playing my Kawai ES7 Digital Stage Piano, and everything just flowed!

So... my friends and Listeners, here's a taste of what can emerge 'outta the Blue' when my Muse just wants to come out n play!  😉

VickStiX has created a lovely tune (https://soundcloud.com/vicky-adair/voice-at-ninety), that probably deserves even a bit more enrichments. So I did that with Vicky's permission. See her track for lyrics ...

Games of Shadows - Improvised Piano Piece

War Path (2025) Remastered

I had the piano as a top-quality MIDI file (purchased).
I then selected the piano VST and added the drums – all to create a basis for my saxophone.
The piano had some weird escapades, which made the improvisation exciting :-)

music recorded Friday 31st march 2017 at the pleasure dome.

Recorded fro DD's ongoing series Film Noir/NightWatch and for
Diquiet junto project 0274

Nightwatch is a trilogy performed on mostly electric basses , it's a trilogy but today I recorded a 4th part for this junto, a solo bass performance, and then "broke" the low notes that populate the pauses with extreme tremolos, chopper, skidder and regular tremolos at hard settings (square wave, loads of drive and saturation)
I love the way those tremolos, used in this "chop down" way, break the decay of the notes and make the soft vanish of music sound beautifully wrong.

Added huge reverbs and wah wah on the reverb.
Broken ambient bass.

4th part of a trilogy.

bio here:
http://dedeland.com/daniel-diaz-bio/


In some words:
Composer, arranger, producer, multi-instrumentalist. Born in Argentina,
I studied music in Buenos Aires, New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Paris.

For 20 years, I developed an important career as a session and backing musician in Argentina and Europe, playing, among other instruments, the bass, touring and recording with many jazz, rock, fusion, world, Latin and tango bands.

At the same time, I worked as an arranger, producer and musical director with many projects and artists in the USA, Argentina and Europe.

From 1992 to 1997, I performed my compositions live with my own band in Buenos Aires and began a solo recording career with the worldwide release of my first album "The Years Alone" on the North American label Green Linnet/Xenophile. On this album I arranged and performed 11 of my songs written between 1986 and 1993. I played most of the instruments, but included guest appearances by some great South American players.

My recording career continued with "Segundo Ciclo" (1997), released worldwide by Timeless Records, and 12 more albums released between 2000 and 2016.

Currently, I work as an on-demand film/TV composer while continuing to play live and produce.
