Daniel Brandl
The core of my creative work lies in dealing with the cello as a solo instrument in combination with the computer and digital sound processing.

Album Release:
Solo 3
My third solo album is released on Protomaterial Records on 1st November 2024.
It is a journey into of all the different sounds, a Cello and an electric Cello can make. Hard to describe, in what it's actually about.
The album consists of acoustic music and also delves into the possibilities of making music together with the computer.
The single He Knows is a duo with drummer Sven Petri, exploring the theme of Sisyphus, trying again and again to create a musical moment, while differing from the greek original by actually succeeding in the task.
Listen to it on all streaming platforms, or buy it on bandcamp

About
Daniel Brandl
{prepared} & Cello & {electronics}
Daniel Brandl is a cellist, composer and experimental musician.
He prepares his cello with objects and uses the computer as a second instrument to achieve sounds that are beyond the norm.
Manipulation turns the cello into an expanded instrument, with new, unexpected possibilities.
In doing so, Daniel Brandl constructed a language in which sounds defined as unpleasant are interwoven with clear melodies to form improvised poetry.
He takes elements of western classical tradition and combines them with Jazz and electric music patterns.
He has already traveled to many places around the world and has been able to make music with a wide range of artists.
With Electric Barbarian at the World Exhibition in Shanghai, with Tommy Finke in Samara, Russia and throughout Germany with Patricia Kelly. He performs solo and in small ensembles all over Germany.
He builds paths into chaos, somewhere between artificial intelligence and intelligent humanity.
Daniel Brandl composes music for theater and dance productions, three solo albums and several bands.
