Daniel Craig is interested in tape manipulation, feedback, no input mixing, memory, audio vérité, non-linearity, decay, greyness, field recording, Max patching, thinking about thinking and cats.
By time you read this short list, dear reader, he may have found a new set of ideas that quicken his heart, rendering this list an awkward reminder of his former curiosities.
In Melbourne, Daniel completed a music degree at Monash University, specialising in drums and percussion. For some years he played in various bands around town. A little later he got interested in the loud electronic music booming around dusty festivals in the Australian bush. For a while he made music under the name 'Ripple'. He released a couple of EPs and played at some of these festivals.

Since 2016 he has been living in Berlin and has been slowly adding some composted sounds to the city's echtzeitwhatever worlds. In this time, he has focused quite a lot on developing ways to improvise in a live setting, generally involving reel-to-reel tape and computer.
In January 2020 he released his first full length album, A Past Yet To Come. In The Quietus, Tristan Bath described this as 'a staggering work, intimate in its intensity, intensely careful in its construction, and constructed with an idiosyncratic logic of inspiring originality.'
