Daniel Menche in Chch, Wgtn and Akld this week
DANIEL MENCHE
IN CHCH, WELLINGTON AND AUCKLAND THIS WEEK
“If music is like blood - then make the
speakers bleed"
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. Subtle and patient compositions rely on long, dense layers of droning sounds, while abrasive pieces rely on sounds amplified and processed to extreme levels, pushing the full spectrum of frequencies to the most threshold of limits.
Menche's music is never just "noise", but focused explorations of sonic structures that provoke and stimulate the listener's imagination and emotions through the generation of intensely powerful sounds.
This is dedicated music that expresses the undisciplined purity of emotion. Characterized by forcefulness of sound, music that strives for one goal: vehement beauty.
