ABOUT THE COMPOSER

I'm Daniel Allas and I make and perform instrumental and electronic music. My recent work researches intermedial forms of performance, critical theory (particularly in relation to colonial studies), and collaborative composition processes. I've collaborated with classical music groups including wasteLAnd, the LA Philharmonic, Peter Evans and the International Contemporary Ensemble, wild Up, and the Lydian String Quartet, among others. My music has been performed at the Green Umbrella concert series, Tuesdays at Monk Space, Next on Grand Festival, and the So Percussion Summer Academy. I was born in Boston, MA and now live in Los Angeles, CA.
