The Mastering Show #79 - Dan Worrall on non-linear processing

He is interested in almost all products of the human creative process, may it be a geometric taught, a diversified poliphonous texture or the beliefs, rhythms and melodies of an ancient culture. He believes in the interdependence and the pluralism of the different types of art. He searches the source of his compositions in the impact of the different phenomenons as well as in the inexhaustible depth of the collective unconscious.
With his musical thinking he serves progress, and tries to bring the connection of subjectivity and objectivity to the highest possible level.

This is the show where we cover all aspects of mastering. If you're interested in mastering, want to learn how to get better results mastering your own music, or even want to be a mastering engineer, this is the show you want to hear.

I began my musical journey at age 7 with the piano. In my early teens, I was drawn to the guitar, inspired by icons like Slash. Alongside my two friends, all of us guitarists, we formed a band and I embraced the electric bass, recognizing its significance (alongside the drums) in modern music genres. Growing up in choirs my mother Halla Soffía Jónasdóttir sung in, I started myself singing more and more.

In my late teens, my passion for the piano resurfaced, leading me to focus on jazz piano, and a bit of bass, at FÍH music school. There, I had the privilege of learning from exceptional mentors, including Agnar Már Magnússon, Eyþór Gunnarsson, Jóhann Ásmundsson, and Sigurður Flosason.

Around the turn of this century, I was in the band KUAI which shone brightly before fading out. Throughout my journey, I collaborated with many talented musicians, yet my most enduring partnership remains with Sindri Bergmann Þórarinsson. Currently we produce music as Kanez Kane.

You can find more details about these collaborations in the 'Description' section of the corresponding tracks.
