Daniel Blumberg

Heartbeat Hotel, Theater aan het Spui

Over the past decade, Daniel Blumberg has released an extensive catalogue of music under different names, collaborating with musicians, writers and filmmakers. Hans Ulrich Obrist describes him as “one of London’s most exciting emerging new artists”. Most recently Blumberg has been playing and recording at London’s Cafe Oto, working intensively with a core group of improvisers consisting of violinist Billy Steiger, saxophonist Seymour Wright, double bassist Tom Wheatley and cellist Ute Kanngiesser. These sessions led to the 2018 release of his debut record Minus, a powerful and highly personal work, one that weds a free-music ethos to the rawest emotional songwriting.
