Over the course of two decades, Daniel Aged’s artistic vision has been defined by rugged sensitivity and exploratory precision. His touch is immediately recognizable within the first note, his signature intervals and progressions shimmering from deep within lucidly psychedelic arrangements. From his origins as a teenage session protege and live musician for Raphael Saadiq and John Legend to his production, composition, and musical direction work for Frank Ocean, FKA Twigs, Rosalía, Zsela and his band inc. no world, Aged has wound through contemporary pop music as a master craftsman adaptable to anything yet fully in his own lane. Aged’s latest album, ‘You Are Protected By Silent Love’, takes the luminous head music into even deeper waters, filled with microfunk daydreams, liquid mercury gospel, and delicate polyrhythms that recall footwork and jungle. So expressive is Aged’s instrumentation, anchored by his keening pedal steel textures and inquisitive bass playing. The album arrives as a balm, with room for every shade of emotion but guided by a tender, unafraid hand. The release inaugurates the launch of Aged’s record label, Chiron Sound Ltd., a platform for exploring musical autonomy, dedicated to the release of his own music and quality recordings of friends and fellow travelers. With a focus on free expression, improvisation, and singular visions, Chiron Sound will draw alliances across geography and generations towards a horizon of progressive music, tuned to uplift.
