A.k.a. Daniel Rodrigo Vieira

Aldfrith, the name of a king of Northumbria (a mediaeval kingdom of the Angles) who ruled between 685–704/705, borrows his name to the new project of Daniel Disneycrusher (aka Daniel Death), encompasses dark ambient music inspired by Henrik Nordvargr Bjork (and his countless projects), Karjalan Sissit, Horchata (mainly from the album ISOLATED HOUSE), Samsa, Vestigial, Atrium Carceri, Desiderii Marginis, Raison D’être, Inade, Atrax Morgue and older experimental pathfinders like Brian Eno, Karlheinz Stockhausen, John Cage, Edgard Varèse and newer names like Arktau Eos, Opium Warlords and Blitzkrieg Baby. However, those are just nominal influences, since Daniel opted in not hearing such artists during the time he was creating From Northumbria to Mehrgarh (his first work), in order to seize the moment of alacrity, creating the layers of the songs often in just one take, rapidly editing, and not focusing in fancy editing. As of May 10th 2013, Daniel Death created another hard-to-get opus called Combinatorial Explosion May Result in The Curse of Dimentionality merging the very same elements that was used to create From Northumbria to Mehrgarh, but with more experimentations Moreover, Aldfrith is the creation of the artiste in his Dämmerung, questioning what is true art and what is not. What can be done in the field of music that still wasn’t been done. Trying to empathically understand why such a hive of so-called musicians perceive themselves as being “avant-garde” in this internet era where anyone in anywhere can produce stuff in such a light speed way that the ouvre is let to one to draw the line if it’s good or if isn’t. The whole point came from one question: what’s the point? While we still have truly innovative music being created, Daniel Death believes that’s not everyday that a new Frank Zappa or a new Sun-Rá comes out of the blue to leave their imprint in the history of music.
