Greetings!  Derek here.

ALL OF THE SONGS HAVE THEIR OWN SET OF NOTES!  Details about gear, recording methods, my opinions on the track, etc.  I'm always happy to answer any questions, but it seems a lot of people are unaware you can get more info by clicking on the track name.

This is my personal page.. things that get here may be works in progress, miscellaneous wankings, alternate mixes, or none of the above.

I have played bass for Haji's Kitchen (1993-current); Thought Chamber (2006-2011); Somsara (2005-2008).  I also played 3 tracks on the Eumeria debut disc (2011)

PURCHASING MUSIC! (what a novel idea..)

If you want a copy of the Somsara disc, e-mail me on Facebook and I'll do my best to hook you up.  $5 including shipping for USA.

The first Haji's Kitchen disc is out of print, and only (legally) available digitally on iTunes.  Sucker Punch is available on CDBaby.com or iTunes.. just click the "buy this track" button.   The Thought Chamber disc is available on iTunes or Amazon.. again, click the "buy" link.  Thanks!

BIOGRAPHY:

Daniel Tompkins is an award winning and innovative British singer / songwriter from Nottinghamshire in The East Midlands. More widely recognised as the singer for TesseracT with his unique live performances and unmistakable dramatic soundscapes on the highly acclaimed albums ‘One’ and 'Polaris'. Since 2009 Daniel has established himself as a highly respected vocalist with a dedicated worldwide fan base. Arguably one of the busiest collaborative vocalists, Daniel’s voice has been celebrated as one of the best in modern progressive rock and metal.
 
Daniel has released a diverse catalogue of records to date and in doing so demonstrated a natural ability to marry his distinct voice to various genres and yet remain in mesmerising control of his audience. However, much more than a recording artist, he is an accomplished performer who has earned a host of awards and honours having toured the world, sharing the stage with artists such as Iron Maiden, Gojira, Lamb of God, Devin Townsend, Meshuggah, Senses Fail, Animals As Leaders, No Use For A Name, Periphery and Protest The Hero
 
Looking to the future Daniel now balances his time between TesseracT and White Moth Black Butterfly and his various collaborations continuing to create a strong impression within the music industry. 
 
PEER AND PRESS QUOTES:

“Dan has a hell of a voice!!!” – DEVIN TOWNSEND 
 
“Check out the awesome vocals of Dan Tompkins, the man can sing YEAH!!’ – JON GOMM
 
“The dramatic soundscapes Dan Tompkins creates really are on another level, standing above the current crop of vocalists out there. Tesseract are destined for great things with a frontman leading the charge like this…one of the best vocals in modern metal” – SCUZZ TV (UK)
 
“An exceptional album from (White Moth Black Butterfly) Dan Tompkins. An absolutely essential work. Experimental, accessible and quite brilliant. This ranks high amongst this year’s progressive releases.” – Classic Rock Presents Prog Magazine
 
“There are so many musicians out there who jump from genre to genre and experiment with different kinds of sound but not all of them are able to pull it off. Out there, a bunch of them have the ability to make things so awkward, you’d just want to question what they were thinking. But then again, there are the special ones, the ones who shine in the dark and shine even brighter against the sun. The One’s who fully understand and are able to control their capabilities and of course the ones who actually know how to take things to the next level. They have this gift in whatever they do, it just works. One man who’s got this gift is UK-based vocalist, Daniel Tompkins – PULP MAGAZINE (MANILA)
