Workshop - Daniel Stefanik
Daniel Stefanik workshop. The playful multifaceted-nous, mental impact and nerdy aesthetic of Daniel Stefaniks music put different stylistic facets to: dub, house, techno, minimal and maximalist tonal imagery. In addition to the Detroit bow each with weight and pitch as an adjustable parameter, seeping into the Stefanik-esque production a script without rigid limits. With the album “Reactivity” on Static Entertainment on many levels worked hybrid from the dub world, harmonic riffs, ambient moments paired off with depth and visionary impact from house and techno. His art is to reduce at just the right place, thereby the quintessence of the music is brought to the fore and at the same time a feeling of frivolity is left behind. http://www.danielstefanik.de/
