Daniel Menche is an iconic experimental musician from Portland, Oregon. His extensive history of recording and performance spans over three decades and counting. Menche's sonic abstractions manifest through intense noise, immersive drones, dense ambiance, poly-rhythmic percussion, turbulent nature field recordings, abused acoustic instruments and many other sources. His music is adventurous in execution as well as presentation, creating an absolute, abstract sonic world. Marked with a restless enthusiasm and preternatural expressionism, Menche’s compositions typically arrange themselves through organic, seemingly subconscious systems of logic. Never to be pigeonholed and always difficult to categorize, Daniel Menche’s music is a relentless dichotomy of extreme musical emotions. In the truest nature of abstract art, Menche's music demands the surrender of “thinking” while the noise and sound is intensely presented to make way for a pure emotional experience. “Where language ends- music begins” is the mantra that best describes Menche’s artistic stance.
