PRAISE for An Audio-Visual Experience
“Your performance was a veritable Tour de Force!“
João Almeida, Director of Antena 2 ( the Ö1/BBC Radio 3 of Portugal), 12. Februar 2020
„Mit seiner Musik beeindruckte der Musiker am Klavier, an den Keyboards und am Schlagzeug. Die Zuseher
erlebten ein einzigartige "Band Performance" eines einzelnen virtuosen Interpreten.“
Wolfgang Schweighofer, Mein Bezirk Flachgau, 19. Februar 2018
DR!P - an audio-visual experience
DR!P is multi-instrumentalist Daniel Rico’s first solo project, in collaboration with visual artist Astrid Steiner (luma.launisch.at). With DRiP, Daniel presents his original compositions live on piano and drums complemented by video projections of prerecorded footage of himself playing. The imagery allows the audience to experience a 'band performance” by a single individual. In late 2022 Danny released the music from this show and more on an album entitled "Artificial Anus".
On stage, Daniel switches from piano to drums in the blink of an eye. On video he takes you out on a journey where the drums and piano can be found on fields, cities, forests and mountains. Filmed throughout 2017 the material was largely shot in England, Portugal and Austria and subsequently cinematographically edited by Astrid.
