Cellist
extraordinaire, Danielle has performed both as a solo artist and
with other outstanding improvising musicians including Cecil Taylor,
Henry Kaiser, Paul Plimley, John Oswald, Buckethead, Lukas Ligeti,
and Miya Masaoka. Danielle has worked quite extensively with improvisational
music, analog and digital recording, electronics, and computers,
developing interactive cello and electronic music pieces. Her improvisations
are thoughtful and powerful compositions that interweave elements
of contemporary jazz, classical, electronica, folk, blues, rock,
and hardcore. Her sublime sound is adventuresome and exploratory
yet maintains concrete form. "Her contributions are uniformly
excellent." (Exclaim magazine). Danielle received her MFA in
Electronic Music and Recording Media at Mills College, and her BFA
in music from Smith College graduating Cum Laude. She has also studied
at Berklee College of Music (90-92), the Center of New Music and
Audio Technology (CNMAT, 95-96), and the New England Conservatory
of Music (NEC, 82-86). She performs regularly in the Bay area with
guitarist Henry Kaiser, and in Bottomfeeders with bassist Ashley
Adams.
