“To endorse someone is to believe in that person and their capabilities. I not only endorse Daniel, but I will support him in any way I can. Daniel’s industriousness and discipline, creativity, stylistic range and productivity greatly impressed me. He is the master of evil sounds and I thank him for bringing forth the demons! Daniel is the Light of Darkness!! I believe he is the best creator of never existing before sounds, completely original blobs of pitched and non pitched sonic creature-freaks; and very much alive they are!!! Thoughtfully produced to be utilized in musical context, his aural designs are always in service of the story. Hats off to my remarkable friend. Hats off! I love Daniel, always have, always will.
