about:
Daniel Gall is a Los Angeles based composer and artist. Strongly identifying as an
organizer in the brave new world of music today, Daniel is a founding member of the L.A.
based composers' collective, Synchromy, and his works can be heard through this venue. Art
in the context of community is central to his musical thinking, and most often his pieces are
conceived of in the spirit of collaboration and alliance with performers, performance groups,
and other organizations. His music is all about personality and identity, with a particular
stylistic aesthetic consistent throughout his work. And he would be well understood in the
context of a generation of composers who are turning away from academic music, and
modernist values, in favor of a more post-modern point of view.
Daniel studied composition with Jerry Mueller in 2002-03, where he was a member of the San
Francisco based "5C" Composers' Collective. After which he returned to Los Angeles to earn
his BA in composition in 2006, from the University of California, Los Angeles, where his
principal teacher was Roger Bourland. Following an academic hiatus, Daniel is now pursuing
graduate studies in composition at the California State University, Northridge, where his
principal teacher is Liviu Marinescu.
It would be a mistake, however, to try to understand the development of Daniel's music, and
his perspective, through an academic lens. As an artist and composer, Daniel produces new
works prolifically, and the music he writes today comes as the latest in a series that goes
back many years. In a sense, the works he produces today represent a consequence of the
music produced in the past, but it is this series, each piece informing the next, that has
driven his music developmentally.
