Daedelus

Join artist, performer, and EPD faculty member, Daedelus in exploring the consequences of our actions before the stage, through to play. With an ear towards how a DJ might organize a record crate or an EDI player might select their best metaphor.

It’s not often we get the opportunity to listen to a group of artists and performers discuss their performance practices with EDI’s and electronic music performance. Join Berklee faculty members, Daedelus, Claire Lim (dolltr!ck), and Thavius Beck, with Mark de Clive Lowe and Quantic in a discussion around electronic music performance, their practice and approach. Moderated by Berklee faculty member Rishabh Rajan.

Berklee EDI’s chair Michael Bierylo, assistant chair Michele Darling, and faculty members, Daedelus, Claire Lim,  and Rishabh Rajanwill meet for a panel discussion on their experience in building the EDI principal instrument program at Berklee College, one of the first programs of its kind at a music school within the United States. Topics will include audition requirements, proficiency levels and exams, teaching private lessons, labs and ensembles, and how the program has grown  over the past two years. The session will end in Q&A.

Daedelus (aka Alfred Darlington) is concerned for all things resounding. During a 20+ career synonymous with controllers and Los Angeles' Beat Scene they have performing over 1,000+ shows worldwide, from underground raves to festival mainstages. Producing on labels like Brainfeeder, Ninjatune, Warp, and important upstarts like Albert's Favourites and Dome of Doom. In 2019, just before the world closed, they were founding faculty at the Berklee College of Music's EDI principle instrument program and in 2020 became an artist in residence at S.E.T.I.      

The dance orientated sound of British musician, producer and DJ Will “Quantic” Holland has enchanted fans and tastemakers across the world for nearly two decades, showcasing his artistry and rare ability to intertwine the electronic with the orchestral. Now based in Brooklyn, New York after recent years along the Colombian Pacific Coast, Holland has developed a sound that embraces his own love of travel, bridging gaps across cultures and genres.
