Born and raised in Paris, and currently living in Los Angeles, Daniel Wohl's music blends electronics with acoustic instrumentation to often "surprising and provocative effect" (NPR). Recently performances of his music have been held by the San Francisco Symphony (Soundbox series), the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (MusicNOW series), the Los Angeles Philharmonic (Hollywood Bowl), New York Youth Symphony (Carnegie Hall), the Bang on a Can All-Stars (Barbican), and has been performed at venues including the Broad Museum, MASS MoCA, the Holland Festival and MoMA Ps1. Earlier this year, Holographic, Daniel's sophomore album was released on New Amsterdam Records and  was deemed  "aggressive and gorgeous" (NPR) with an electroacoustic blend that was "expertly handled" (Pitchfork).   Collaborations those with the American Symphony Orchestra,  So Percussion, Julia Holter, Lucky Dragons,  Laurel Halo, the Calder Quartet, Indianapolis Symphony, eighth blackbird,  and Son Lux.

 

 

As a curator he cofounded and co-curated Sound/Source, a one day electroacoustic festival held at MoMA Ps1 in 2014. He also recently joined forces with Kate Nordstrum (Liquid Music) and William Brittelle (New Amsterdam Records) to form Infinite Palette, a collective dedicated to presenting, commissioning and performing electroacoustic music (more info at www.infinite-palette.com). He is a recipient of three ASCAP Young Composers awards, as well as grants from the Barlow Foundation, New Music USA, the Brooklyn Arts Council and the Jerome Foundation
