SUAL004A - Daigoro - William Herdman's Cinema - http://soulseekrecords.com

Here Daigoro marks his first release not only for us here at SUAL, but also
his debut netrelease on any label.  Hailing from Perth, Scotland, Daigoro -
or Dave Fyans as his mother still calls him - takes his influence from
sources as diverse as prog rock, ambient electronica, dub and traditional
Scottish folk music to create glacial drones and bubbling ambient
soundscapes. On this release, Daigoro pays homage to his great grandfather,
William Herdman, who wrote and played piano music for silent movies. In his
own words, Daigoro's album recalls the "crackly old sepia life" that would
have punctuated his relative's career.  He also sees the Scottish folk
influence in his music as part of his own cultural identity.  Traditional
Celtic music is built around the drone of the bagpipes, and although this
album thankfully features no bagpipes, Daigoro's careful analysis of the
music's structures and idiosyncracies ensures that the music's heritage
lives on.

Daigoro forms one half of Somniscope (www.somniscope.mm403.com), who create
audio-visual artwork which is also definitely worth checking out.  On his
own, Daigoro is also featured on the forthcoming "Some Paths Lead Back Again
[hpll:010]" compilation on Highpoint Lowlife Records
(www.highpointlowlife.com).  Along with this, Daigoro's track 'Wrong'
(featuring the vocal talent of Synesthesia) was the winner of August's
The Slsk, and hence will be featured on the forthcoming Soulseek Records
release.
