Daniel Menche

Real Name:Daniel Menche
Profile:Daniel Menche has established himself as a musician with a sense of focus and determination uncharacteristic in a genre known for its randomness and chaotic structure. Rather than creating "noise," he strives for order and cohesiveness. His presentation of sonic structures is similar to the way a writer depicts a story, an allegory seems to arise, which uses confusion as a symbol for the imaginative process in its quest for beauty; aural intensity is not a representation of confusion or the chaotic, but a concerted effort to provoke the listeners imagination, to stimulate concerted effort to provoke the listeners imagination, to stimulate thought, generate intensely powerful sounds, and to inspire beauty. Attempting to avoid the theoretical aspects of music, Menche's sonic constructions enhance the mystery of confusion (in its tonal form) in an effort to stimulate the imagination.

Its really hard to describe Daniel Menches work. You notice I didnt use the word "music" ; Its not pejorative, but the question is to know if we can yet speak about music here !

"Music is an art, entertainment, or other human activity that involves organized and audible sound, though definitions may vary."

Organized ? Absolutely not. Audible sound ? It really depends. No melody, no structure. Just chaos, confusion and disorder. I cant tell you why some people (include me) need to listen this kind of sound...

Anyway, if you look for something experimental, something that youve never heard before, try any of Daniel Menches work. A truly unique experience.
