Neven Dayvid

In 2001, I released UNSTAR, my deconstructivist take on early British and German industrial, punk, and jungle. The album is still widely available as a CD or download. UNSTAR was followed by two vocal albums, completing my "Berlin Trilogy": "Stranger" and "Berlinoise", expanding my experimental, sampladelic vision into the realms of Dark Wave, Prog, Free Jazz, and Polynesian Opéra Brut. Since then, i set off on a different path: Drawing inspiration from the NATURAL WORLD - in all its beauty, vastness, and absurd cruelty - as well as extreme mental / psychedelic states, and working in the fundamentally abstract medium of PURE MUSIC, I created a body of work that will be gradually made available through my website (currently under construction). Lush, grandiose, and clangorous amorphous soundscapes, composed with an array of ancient analogue / modular synthesizers as well as a host of acoustic instruments - imagine DEMENTED FIELD RECORDINGS from a VENUSIAN SWAMP on a WARM RADIO-ACTIVE SUMMER NIGHT... Currently, I am working on a new song album in my Berlin studio.
