Daniel Blumberg’s music slowly fastens in the core of the heart. In March at ALICE, the London-based artist and composer will perform his beautiful, experimental slowcore works that convey a captivating inner world through pure, melancholic vocals, and instruments such as bass harmonica, drum machine, and synthesizer.

Daniel Blumberg creates a kind of improvised, experimental slowcore that demands full devotion from the listener but rewards a thousandfold. The London-based artist and composer conveys a captivating inner world with painful and raw emotional directness in his music. On his latest release, “GUT,” which revolves around Blumberg’s chronic illness, pure, ethereal, and melancholic vocals are accompanied simply by piano, bass harmonica, drum machine, and synthesizer. The music has an incredible intimacy, slowly digging into the heart’s core by alternating between harmonic passages of piano and beautiful vocals on one side, and improvised elements like sporadic snare drum beats and melancholic bass tones on the other. It’s impossible to forget once you’ve listened to Daniel Blumberg’s music.

Blumberg has been a consistent part of the scene around Cafe Oto in London for over 10 years, regularly playing and improvising with musicians such as Seymour Wright, Billy Steiger, Tom Wheatley, and Ute Kanngiesser. He released his first solo album, “Minus,” in 2018 and has performed countless concerts, especially in Europe, including a visit to Copenhagen in 2019 with Jim White. Concurrently, Blumberg has worked as an artist and film composer. Among his works is the beautiful, dramatic, and acclaimed soundtrack for the film “The World To Come” (directed by Mona Fastvold, 2021), which he created alongside the American folk singer and songwriter Josephine Foster. Blumbergs third album, “GUT” (Mute, 2023), is following the soundtrack for “The World To Come.”

Daniel Blumberg is known for delivering raw, personal and conceptual live performances, where a white spotlight rests on him unflinchingly. It will be a captivating and unique concert experience when he performs at ALICE. The concert is seated.
