A spoken word version of a poem I am pretty proud of. It’s got an ambient backing track too. If you give it a listen I’d love to know what you think!

It was meant to be a simple hiatus
a break from the public eye
and I guess it was nice to hide
and stay silent...

They keep putting malice
Into places
It shouldn't be

Not its expression but
Its definition --
As if tearing out a page &
Replacing it with this

How can they
Truly grasp the reason
If they're obsessed
With making it slippery

That no one else
Can catch it
It runs through their hands

Listening to my own music again. Have a report to write and this stuff works for me.

Today is the extended version of What Comes From Nothing.

I stayed up way too late recording the song as an 8 minute piece. Then the next morning found myself listening to it on repeat and wanted a longer version:

Who will speak
for the unidentified

the quietly productive

the fallen trees
that no one heard

if not you?

if not me?

"nil," Atlas Talos, digital, 2024. Stylized illustration, black and white -- a heavily textured black and dark gray background, with scattered bits of light-to-white texure sprinkled across the outside of the piece. the occasional random light scratch around the outside of the piece become more dense and with thicker lines as they spiral toward the middle, forming almost a hurricane of scratches. and in the very middle of the piece, very small, is a single white figure, half in shadow, laying naked on the floor in a fetal position, eyes wide, pupils staring into the distance. the piece conveys sorrow, solitude, anxiety, and fear. it's meant to make the viewer feel uncomfortable and abandoned.

New song and poem out now, get them free at writtenbydaniel.com/unidentified plus a 32-page booklet of lyrics and art

(if you hate signing up for email updates, DM me and I’ll send you the link to listen)
White background with black silhouette of a figure. Text reads "Unidentified, a self-portrait in 3 parts. Out now." Text that reads "Hi, it’s been a while. Before taking 6 years off from releasing music to the public, I used to put out a song every year on my birthday, January 15th. Unlike most of my major releases, they’re not attached to a big story or concept album. They’re standalone, sometimes a bit rougher, more raw. Like an updating self-portrait." Text that reads: "To make up for lost time, this one packs in a little bit extra with an 8-minute track produced by Ogi (two songs and a poem) plus a 32-page lyrics and art booklet. Hope you enjoy. (I made it exclusive to people who sign up to get email updates, but if you really want to hear it and don't like email, message me and I'll get you the files.)" A logo for Written by Daniel, and text that reads: "To get the exclusive songs and poem, sign up on writtenbydaniel.com for email updates and more exclusives"

I used to release a song every year on my birthday, unconnected from larger projects. After taking 6 years off I put together a little extra this year to restart that series. Free on my site tomorrow by signing up for email updates (or if you hate email, DM me and I'll send it)
