 Welcome to www.danijoss.com Please note that, due to technical limitations, you can only reach this site using the "www" prefix. Naked domains are not supported. This site is still experimental and still under construction. It is hosted by Google Sites, which introduces several limitations on web design. Deployed to simplify the process of dispatching information to interested parties, it consolidates press releases, project descriptions, and up-to-date contact details. A new website that will offer an interactive insight into Dani Joss' work is a project in progress. Current www technologies that offer an acceptable sonic experience are not widespread and usually result in large file downloads and slow site performance. Therefore, the design of the new site is a piece of research in itself. Meanwhile, feel free to navigate this location, as more and more information is being gradually added. | latest: Poeta Negra shuts down Sadly, Poeta Negra is history; in practical terms, it has been for a while now. This leaves the distribution of Dani Joss' records in a state of uncertainty at best. danijoss.com will try to secure as many of the remaining CD copies as possible, although this might take a while. While the records are at the moment available from lotus record store, that will ship worldwide, this is far from an ideal situation. True to faith in alternative distribution methods, we commit to offer a solution to the benefit of any interested parties as soon as possible, as we investigate our options. New Publication Dani's article "On Sonification of Place: Psychosonography and Urban Portrait" is published in vol 14(1) of Organised Sound (Cambridge Journals), under Dani Iosafat. [Organised Sound 14(1): 47–55. ©2009 Cambridge University Press]. At the moment, it is offered as a free pdf download along with the rest of the issue (here). Additionally, it can be downloaded from this site here (google file repository). Bogus site alert There exist a number of music websites that display horrible misinformation on Dani's work (such as videos with someone else's music, links to "official site" that point to somebody else's site, and so on). These miraculously appear highly ranked by Google, and do not respond to emails with requests to remedy their errors. While their good intentions are not hereby doubted, they are not much help. If you happen to find one, please complain/boycott. 08/09 update As of September 2008, Dani Joss' activities have been in a state of redefinition — which is another way to say that new performances will not be scheduled. Joss is now located in Berlin, Germany, conducting research in electroacoustic musicology and analysis. There exists some new musical material, crafted with bits and pieces from the recording sessions for Urban Portrait, but the time to assemble that into coherent compositions is still being sought (also sought are the instrumentalists that would perform it, as the original ones are a few thousand kilometres away now). As is apparent by his music itself, Joss works directly with recordings and resents abstract plans; as a matter of fact, this is an extension of direct perception theory, a key component of his research project. Nonetheless, that material will be published in one way or the other (although the traditional one should be considered unlikely) at some point. |
