Profile Information
- short bio
- Daniel Brandes is a maker of sounds. He lives in Victoria, British Columbia with his wife Laura and his cat Jack. He rides a blue, Raleigh, five-speed bicycle, circa 1975, with joy and reckless abandon – though he always wears his helmet and obeys the rules of the road. He is a resoundingly bad, but earnest, five string banjo player. He plays and sings on the street with his wife for money. It works.
Daniel studies composition with Christopher Butterfield at the University of Victoria. He composes music that walks tight ropes – tight ropes between nothing and something, fragility and fierceness, beauty and ugliness. He likes art that makes the listener/viewer/reader come to it. He likes artists that try even if they fail, as long as they try.
His music has travelled across Canada, being performed in concerts, reading sessions and workshops by the Windsor Symphony Orchestra, the Windsor Community Orchestra, the Victoria Symphony Orchestra, the Brave New Works Ensemble, the ECM + and the Quatuor Bozzini.
In addition to music, Daniel loves baseball, the written word and is considering taking up pin-hole photography.
