Portland’s Daniel Menche is a living legend in the international avant-garde community. As a musician and performance artist, Menche has spent more than 20 years crafting a body of work that is both highly conceptual and ferociously visceral. In a genre often characterized by sonic extremes, Menche’s music assaults the intellect as much as the physical senses, gripping the listener in a total body experience.
With intense focus and curiosity, Menche has sourced, arranged and amplified the sounds of the throat, skin, heart, waterfalls, storms, skin, drums, piano, organ and even a children’s choir.
With the instincts of a caveman, the intellect of an artist and the single-minded determination of a composer, Menche creates and embodies intensity.
