Worm presents… Danalogue (The Comet Is Coming) - Live AV show

Known for destroying crowds with 'The Comet Is Coming’ , Dan Leavers aka ‘Danalogue’ is a force of nature.

Having been spotted in Bristol numerous times and across the world by many thousands of stomping fans while fronting The Comet Is Coming with his layers of cosmic sounds, drum machines and FAT chunky bass-lines soaring from his awesome collection of hardware, he’s now set to release his new solo album entitled ‘Teleporatations’ on May 29th.

Danalogue is a one-off proposition in the UK music landscape. An insane keys player who manages to juggle many layers and elements at once with crazed rock’n’roll meets festival big stage rave flair, while also capable of softer more cosmic moments that can relate the listener to his appreciation of German Kosmiche, Tangerine Dream or say early electronic pioneers such as Delia Derbyshire, Harmonia or Jan Hammer.

Weaving hypnotic analogue synths, pulsating drum machines, and cosmic textures into an electrifying live experience, the show is 100% live, as Danalogue uses his fingers and adrenalin to adjust hardware on the fly.

Ethereal dream states that evolve into high energy acid-dancefloor explosions.

Science fiction provides both the language and architecture of the set. Inspired by astral travel, theta brainwaves, collective consciousness, the artist Jean Giraud, the writer Ernst Bloch and the film maker Miyazaki, Danalogue imagines music as a shared act of transportation.

‘Teleportations' was created using a largely vintage analogue setup, centred around the Roland Juno-60 and SH-09, Jupiter 4, Oberheim and old samplers. For Danalogue, working with older instruments is both an aesthetic and philosophical choice; embracing limitation, tactility and imperfection as a means of focus and identity, while forming a “time bridge” to earlier eras of electronic experimentation.

This set is a love letter to albums that function as worlds, and to music as a vehicle for transformation, and so will be the gig!

FFO: Harmonia / Boards of Canada / Lone / Ryuichi Sakamoto / Herbie Hancock / Jun Fukamachi / Kaitlin-Aurelia Smith / Theo Parrish / Four-Tet / Floating Points / King Crimson / Legowelt / Carl Craig / YMO / Jan Hammer…

Danalogue's live performance is also accompanied by a Live AV backdrop provided by ‘Innerstrings’ who tours and provides visuals for legends such as Overmono, James Holden & The Sabres of Paradise and also is a co-founder of Brighton Psych Fest.
