Review by Cesar Rodriguez

A Collection of Censored Experiments Volume II by Daniel Steffey is a unique and experimental album that pushes the boundaries of traditional music. The album features a range of electronic and ambient sounds, with each track offering a different sonic landscape for the listener to explore.

Steffey's use of unconventional sounds and textures creates a sense of unpredictability and excitement throughout the album. The tracks are constantly evolving, with layers of sound building and dissipating in unexpected ways.

One standout track on the album is "Lost in the Echoes," which features haunting vocals and a pulsing beat that creates a sense of unease. The track gradually builds in intensity, culminating in a powerful climax that leaves the listener feeling exhilarated.

Another standout track is "The Last Transmission," which features a hypnotic melody and a sense of melancholy that is both beautiful and haunting. Steffey's use of distorted vocals and atmospheric sound effects creates a sense of otherworldliness that is truly captivating.

Notes

  • This is a collection of works from 2015-2017, focusing on interactively and/or algorithmically controlled synthesizers and circuits, software instruments, and radio. These are all things that I have worked with in some capacity in a more rigid sense, and these pieces are the embryos to further development of musical ideas and to the integration of these elements.

About Daniel Steffey

Daniel McKemie (né Steffey) is a composer, percussionist, and multimedia artist based in New York City. His music focuses on the boundaries of musical systems, both electronic and acoustic, that are on the verge of collapse. The power in the brittleness of these boundaries, often dictates more than the composer or performers can control, which is very welcomed. Daniel's most recent work came with a collaboration with the Funsch Dance Experience, with music co-composed with Ryan Ross Smith; and a commission from the New York Deaf Theatre for sound design and music for their production of TITUS, based on the Shakespeare tragedy, which has been nominated for two NY Innovative Theatre Awards for Best Original Music and Best Sound Design. Since 2015, Daniel has worked with Roscoe Mitchell on a process of transcribing and orchestrating Mitchell's improvisations from the Wide Hive Records releases, Conversations I and II, which was originally premiered at the Tectonics (Reykjavik) Festival with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Ilan Volkov. These works have been, and continue to be transcribed and arranged for other chamber groups, throughout North America and Europe. Resulting recordings of this work can be be heard on Wide Hive Records ("Discussions"), and Nessa Records ("Ride the Wind"). Daniel is a co-founder and current member of Ctrl-Z, a group that specializes in the performance of scored music for live electronics. Since its inception, the group has commissioned a number of composers, as well as performed classic works, that are adapted for a variety of electronic instruments, synthesizers, hand-made circuitry, and computer. The group looks to release a number of recordings and perform extensively in 2017,which includes a newly unearthed piece by Lou Harrison for percussion and tape. In 2014, Daniel was awarded the opportunity to be an artist-in-residence at WGXC Wave Farm in Acra, NY where he completed his concert length radio opera Pneuma; and now co-produces a monthly radio hour called The Cutty Strange, which now also doubles as the name of a newly formed record and media label formed by a collective of like minded musicians. His album of electronic works, Chloros was released on Edgetone Records in 2009, and Foxy Digitalis went on to say, "It is as abrasive as it is meditative, and bold as it is voyeuristic. He has surprisingly found new meanings within noise." His music can be found on Cutty Strange Records, Edgetone, Self-Help Tapes, and Turmeric Magnitudes; with any and all other 'releases' available for free online.
