Bio: 
Danniel RIBEIRO is a Brazilian composer from Bahia. His compositional practice is driven by research and creative exploration, focusing on exploratory instrumental writing and improvised performances supported by emerging technologies and informed by investigations into culture and identity. He examines musical gesture, instrumentality, and materiality to expand the expressive possibilities of complex timbral constructs and instrumental/sound phenomena in his compositions. His work integrates theoretical inquiry with practical experimentation, often involving the development of tailored instrumental preparations, modifications, notational systems, practical sculptural objects, amplification/transduced electronic apparatuses, and performance techniques. Danniel’s goal is to critically engage with social and cultural dimensions of contemporary concert music through research, analysis, performance, and creation, exploring the interplay between idiosyncratic artistic invention and broader cultural dynamics.

A four-time recipient of Brazil's National Composition Prize (FUNARTE), Danniel has participated in events and residencies, including Klangspuren Schwaz (Austria), the Banff Centre (Canada), Domaine Forget (Canada), Barcelona Modern (Spain), Darmstadt (GER), Festival Musica (France), New Music on the Point (USA), and ilSUONO (Italy). His works have been performed at notable venues and festivals such as Empreintes (France), Morelia (Mexico), and Sala São Paulo (Brazil).
​
Danniel has collaborated with leading international ensembles, including L’Instant Donné, Yarn/Wire, Schallfeld, JACK Quartet, Barcelona Modern, RAGE Thormbones, collective lovemusic, Dal Niente, Vertixe Sonora, and Suono Giallo. He has also benefited from advanced studies with Chaya Czernowin, Franck Bedrossian, Clara Iannotta, Philippe Hurel, Malin Bång, Toshio Hosokawa, Felipe Lara, Daniel D'Adamo, Januibe Tejera, Mark Andre, Brian Ferneyhough, and Du Yun.

Danniel earned his master’s degree in composition (M.Mus.) at the Schulich School of Music of McGill University (Canada) in 2018, studying under Philippe Leroux. As a laureate of the 2023/24 George Ladd Prix de Paris, he pursued independent studies in France and recently completed the postgraduate specialization in instrumental and mixed composition at the Conservatoire de Strasbourg (France). Currently, Danniel is a Ph.D. candidate in music composition at UC Berkeley (USA), studying with Edmund Campion, Ken Ueno, Myra Melford, and Carmine-Emanuele Cella.
