Dann M Torres is a multi-instrumentalist with an affection for acoustic experimentation and electronic manipulation. Well versed in a variety of musical styles and idioms, from world fusion to post-rock, experimental to ambient jazz, Dann’s divergent approach to sound design seeks to deconstruct genres into a sound that is compelling and unique. His current project, Knossos, is a unusual blend of middle-eastern instrumentation with dense percussive layers of organic sounds and textured beats. Truly electro-acoustic in nature, the premise of the Knossos sound centers around the manipulation of eastern acoustic instruments with signal processing and ambient distress. Dann lives in the LA area and has worked with Solace, Eventide, Naked Rhythm, Suzanne Teng, Azam Ali, and a variety of other diverse musicians in the studio, and in improvised performance.
