- ...Daniele De Santis is a multi-instrumentalist, percussionist and producer of Apulian origins, currently based between Athens and Berlin. He is also known as sound engineer and curator within the realm of his nomadic platform Dromoscope. As unfolded by the wide constellation of activities that have seen him involved in recent years, Daniele perpetually dedicates to the development and refinement of his unique instrumental language, which roots on mediterranean and middle-eastern traditions just as in instant composition and abstract electronica, while also feeding on a constant spontaneous practise in the crafting of experimental sound devices and tools. It is the case e.g. of GRÜN project, whose machines embody the specific attempt to conceive composition in terms of circuit design and gestural interactivity with electrical automations. In the form of a site specific performance/installation, as well as embedded in its related workshop series Homegrown, GRÜN has been hosted by international entities such as Berlin Atonal, CTM Siberia, Strøm, PHONO, Macao, Sunnhordland folkehøgskule and more. In continuity, Prepared Drums project expands his research in the exploration of the boundaries between micro- and macro-tonality, through the design and manufacturing of special non-aerial transducers and their live implementation. Meant on purpose to achieve the difficult goal to over-amplify acoustic percussions without triggering feedback artifacts, Prepared Drums’ microphones are the means for a peculiar augmented drumming, a sound-system-magnified whole topography of the subtle tactile timbres and resonant harmonics which reside in the percussions bodies. While counting appearences in festivals such as Irtijal, Terraforma and SeaNaps, the project has seen in 2019 the release and international showcase (Drums Playing Drums) of Prepared Drums Vol. I LP, published in the form of a handmade dubplate by a joint venture of Dromoscope Editions and Elia Buletti's Das Andere Selbst. 2019 also marks a consolidation of De Santis’ work with producer-curator Rabih Beaini and his imprint Morphine Records, by joining the label’s roster as new member of the Upperground Orchestra. At the end of the same year he appears on the drums alongside vocalist-performer Rully Shabara (Senyawa, ZOO) with a site specific performance for Milan’s Macao, hosted by italian independent label Communion, which later in 2020 also releases A Thousand Steps, a special split record seing De Santis Shabara duo in dialogue with the audio-visual experimentation of AI artist-producer Lorem. De Santis has released music for Communion, Das Andere Selbst, Dromoscope Editions, Farmacia 901 and more.̸De Santis Shabara // Lorem - A Thousand Steps [ Communion / COMM006 ] Daniele De Santis - Prepared Drums Vol. I [ Das Andere Selbst & Dromoscope Editions / DAS032 - DE005 ] GRÜN - Supervegetale [ Dromoscope Editions / DE004 ] MDF - HORVS [ Farmacia901 / F90104 ]
