HEY...THANKS FOR CHECKING OUT MY MUSIC. I really appreciate it.

I'm 59 (same age as MOBY) and have been a muso since I started learning guitar at 8. I mostly play acoustic guitar and fretless electric bass. I also sing a bit and dabble on the keys.

My main musical love at the moment is producing electronic music - probably because it's so immediate (like photoshop for sounds) and I can 'go down the rabbit hole' as far as I want (usually for about 10-15 hrs using approx 40 elements in a finished track). I record 'real' instruments for some of my tracks but they're mostly made using software synths and virtual instruments in FL Studio 21. I hardly ever use loops, preferring to build elements like drum patterns, bass and melody lines with either a mouse or controller keyboard (Arturia Keylab61 Essential / FLKey Mini). I've given names to most of my tunes but some still just have a code: year/my initials and track number. 

I'm enjoying the creative process and will keep producing instrumental tracks until I feel I'm ready for the next stage - adding lyrics/vocals. Until then I'm focusing on getting better at arranging and mixing. In the future I'd love to play acoustic instruments and sing live over electronic tracks.

I'm also setting myself up as a fine art photographer. You can see some of my work on Instagram and Facebook. Website coming soon.

Cheers. Daz

The Samsara Spell is creating and holding space for a new world of love trust, truth, and compassion. To break the cycle of want, capitalistic oppression, and corruption. A place where you can be free to be a human being, not a human doing. A world where you can be unapologetically, you. 

There's new upcoming music in the making for a very special project. So stay tuned!

Previously worked with Our Dark Secrets | Film No.3 | Steel Feel | the BoM.

Our Dark Secrets
Was a blend of music, spoken word, and atmospheric sounds that alternated between dark sinister jazz and and doom waltzes. Occasional happy upbeat tunes served to complement the over-arching down-beat themes and provide a happy, fun place for you to have a bit of a breather. Think Laurie Andersen, Amanda Palmer, or Nick Cave, and you are on the right path :)

Film No.3
Was collaborative project that unfolded an uhyggeligt Scandic noir. A series of murder ballads that revealed a dark overarching storyline. Think Nick Cave, the Doors, The Beat poets and you're in good company.

Very raw. In most cases songs for Our Dark Secrets and Film No.3 were written by channeling the genie, then sung and composed on the fly a minute later. Super fresh! It was the spark of creation, and it was really special to have shared those first moments. xx
