| I first came to know about Daedelus and his work through a roundabout way. Kozyndan, two graphic artists from California, designed the album art for one of his previous EPs. After this I picked up his first full length album, Invention. Since then I have tried to keep track of his continuing releases and musical evolutions. Concerning song structure, Daedelus Denies The Day's Demise doesn't stray too far from his earlier work. He still works heavily with a multitude of soft noises and rhythmic sounds to develop lush layers and soundscapes. His softer side can still be heard under the cascading waves of exotic percussion, hand claps and hip shaking bossa nova influenced rhythms present on this latest release. While most of us dream about mundane events like school and work, it would appear that Daedelus is blessed with dreams of Conga drums and secret midnight techno parties. I'm jealous. Fun Fact: Daedelus, in Greek mythology, created the labyrinth in which the Minotaur was kept. He was also the father of Icarus who is known for flying too close to the sun. His wings were constructed of wax, which Daedelus created, and melted when the temperature got too hot. - A Robot Cometh |
