Daniel Blumberg is a musician and artist from London. With a decade of musical activity behind him under various pseudonyms, he now focuses his activities under his own name to explore the intersection between classic songwriting and free improvisation, while forging ongoing exchanges with other artists in order disciplines.
He has released two solo albums on Mute Records, Minus (2018) and On&On (2020), which confirm him as a unique creative force who pushes the art of song into expansive new territories, collaborating on both records with a tight-knit group of free-playing musicians including Ute Kanngiesser, Billy Steiger, Tom Wheatley, and Jim White.
GUO, his multi-disciplinary duo with saxophonist Seymour Wright, have released a number of live documents including GUO4 (2019) alongside films by Peter Strickland and Brady Corbet. He has also collaborated with Japanese improviser Keiji Haino, video artist Marianna Simnett, and electronic maverick Elvin Brandhi in multi-disciplinary duo BAHK.
In 2020 Blumberg completed his first feature-length film score for The World To Come (dir. Mona Fastwold). The score features contributions from some of the world’s most revered and radical musicians: Peter Brötzmann, Josephine Foster, and Steve Noble among them.
Blumberg is also a prolific visual artist who has recently exhibited at Kunsthal (Rotterdam), Deichtorhallen (Hamburg) MK Gallery (Milton Keynes) & Union Gallery (London).
