Daniel Durrett

As I prepare for my upcoming shows this summer, I have been working on bringing what I do in the studio (playing multiple instruments) to the stage. Obviously, I can’t do it all at the same time, so I am using what is called “looping” to achieve a wall of sound. I can record and play loops using a foot pedal so that my hands are free to play guitar/keyboards/percussion.

Here is a video of my song Wasting Our Minds – Live in my studio.

GroßStadtLieder by Helmut Elsasse

As I move forward with my musical journey, I find myself looking back at some of my old music. I am digging through my back catalog and remastering some of my past projects so I can re-release them all to you.

Some of the tracks I wish I could remix all together, but a lot of this was done before I had the means to buy backup drives and such, so the original session files are all gone. But that is OK – I think this is better anyway – I can’t change it. I just have to let it live the way I originally intended.

So, to mark the anniversary of the day the music died, I am releasing a remastered 3 part requiem from 2005 titled letum.

This is an instrumental piece that sits heavily on the ambient/electronic/orchestral boundaries. This is not intended to be uplifting by any means – it is a requiem, which webster-merriam defines as a musical composition in honor of the dead.

You can find it at the Daniel Durrett store. And, you can name your price – no minimum!

This is for my father.

Besides the release of ‘hello, inner sunset’, why is February 20th important to music history?

Answer: Kurt Cobain was born in 1967.
