<<...With this third effort she pushes her research even further,
finding that unique dimension that a voice like hers deserves to have. A
large amount of material (over three hours) to make it difficult to fully
examine the contents in the space of a normal review .. >>

SPANNUNG
REVIEWS
<< "Spannung"
is a box set that has been through seven years of 'gestation', and which
includes three discs, one red, the color of the cover and the booklet (and
'red' is also the image of the artist which transpire from the beautiful
photos), one blue and the last black. In the cd I, the voice of Romina
Daniele, her compositions and her electronics. In the second, with the
same grade of poetics and language, the vocal path continues, but with
more interlocutions (...) The architecture of "Spannung" is solid, well
thought out, precisely 'monolithic'. (...) Then in the first two CDs there
are some known places, let's say some 'street indicators', to use a
Francophone language: Gershwin, Bessie Smith, Frank Sinatra, some
traditional. These tracks are like a bank to not freak out: that is the
art of permutation, of recreating, of doing what one wants of the known,
without betraying it, innovating it as well. This means memory (...) The
greatness of this musician, who is not just a musician, stands in her
ability to propose both a compositional action and a bold vocal gesture,
she takes challenges, she dares and explores almost virgin lands like very
few others did (and I think to Demetrio Stratos of course: I believe
Romina is one of the very few living artists who can use the voice like
Demetrio did), and at the same time she has a very solid aesthetic and
philosophical approach (...) The thought of Romina Daniele, which gives
this extraordinary strength to her music, is about searching for the
authentic, the starting and closing point, where the other is found in
"being together thrown into the world". It is another bank, another chance
of the authentic. For this reason, I like to conclude with her words: "Voice
stakes everything, at higher grades of expotion, in front of the
structures of construct. And voice is man here. Being-together the enigma
we take care of at the edge of the struggle as well, and the limit is not
where one thing is ending, indeed is where everything begins its essence".

SPANNUNG
REVIEWS
<< RominaDaniele is a portento, an artist who could hardly think to relax
on what is not new and already seen and felt. Been there, done that.
"Spannung" has a key that opens more doors (inside and outside) and gives
life to new sounds. Theoretical path, balance and sense of dering,
stability and an attitude that has as its final goal the high profile.
"Spannung" is a all three (perfect number ?, triple cd, three hours of
music) that requires attention and more
listenings. It is not the usual routine, because it emanates underground
poetry and to catch and taste it is on the listener. It is impossible to
remain indifferent to the centrifugal re-readings of "Summertime" (George
Gershwin), "Sycamore Trees" (Angelo Badalamenti & David Lynch), "Special
Delivery Blues" (Odetta Holmes). It is impossible not to be moved before
the multiple approaches of "Daisen" and the six minutes of "The absent
nature". Bluesin’ heart, "scientific" electronics, a voice that is a
complete and original songbook. Stunning (...)

SPANNUNG
REVIEWS
<<We received from Milan the work as latest
musical efforts of the most articulate and extraordinarily lyrical
voice, as well as technical, born in the shadow of the Vesuvius, here
she is Romina Daniele. (...) between the end of 2015 and the beginning
of 2016, Romina has published two works: Spannung (monumental triple
cds solo work) and Absence (by Sheen, a project in collaboration with
Lorenzo Marranini).Spannung (German term for "tension") is her third
solo album, a triple audio cd between voice and electronics,
textuality and improvisation, solo recordings and with the band,
extended vocals and blues.(...) Absence is conceived and developed by
the collaboration between Romina and Lorenzo Marranini (co-founder of
the RDM Records). We are going to say nothing more about, you should
get these works:: such records are so rare in Italy as they show how
possible to do truly artistic research is. Romina Daniele carries on a
research which can right away be defined technically solid, critically
complex, philosophically profound and, above all, so far emotionally
heartbreaking and with a strong, we can say magmatic, inspiration. >>

SPANNUNG
REVIEWS
<< Starting
the 2016 with the amazing voice of Romina Daniele (...) Spannung is a
refined work (...) the singer shows even more her mastery (...) a
condensation of emotions (... ) full of atmosphere (...) pure and
full-blooded blues (...) vocal interpretations which everyone should start
to know (...) an even more fascinating experiment of sound investigation
(...) produced in a superlative way, orchestrated between electronics and
classicism, arranged with an abudance of details. She composes, sings,
arranges and works in the complicated universe of experimental music with
a surprising naturalness. Spannung is an album that should not miss in the
collection of anyone who loves contemporary experimentation, in particular
the voice and its multiple expressive possibilities. And Romina Daniele is
a seductive, fascinating and masterful interpreter of the thousand
possibilities of the human vocal cords. >>

ROMINA DANIELE
SU ONE TV
On Thursday, December 12, 2013 Romina Daniele
appeared on One Tv (DTT
Channel 112) Kalliope show hosted by Marco Ciapparelli.
The talk was about the origins of the band with
which Romina has paid homage to the greatest rhythm and blues women
over the last year, and the close connection between discography and
the experiences gained in the different fields to date.
The musicians who accompanied Romina for some
live shows in November 2013 were in the studio as well. At the moment,
the selection of some band members is still ongoing.
«... that Blues is at the center as feeling and
intention - this is the message - but in a variety of styles that will
allow us to cross - within the limits of our ability - the twentieth
century, from Swing to Fusion..». Romina

«I
speak with Romina Daniele, she tells me that
this is a vocal research started in 2005, along with experimental
music and Electronics. The blues is the birth, is the
starting point. For Sure, Etta James, Koko Taylor
and then Janis Joplin. She wrote a book about
Miles Davis and one about Luciano Berio. Her
voice is unique of its kind, beautiful. The quintessence of a
successful contamination».(M.

book - continue with great great intensity. They will be certainly
released next year. The importance of work comes before an announced date,
since I am an independent artist through and through ;-) Maybe I will
launch a preview for Christmas, or realize the book before

ABSENCE
is Sheen debut album, a project conceived by Lorenzo Marranini and
developed in cooperation and participation with Romina Daniele,
based on the mixture of different genres and on the
indifferentiation, in an experimental key.
Deep and contrasting electronic sound
environments, the result of an intense and laborious research
on sound, relate to the moods of Lorenzo Marranini long
musical experience, to combine with the avant-garde vocal and
textual interventions by Romina Daniele.
The work is made and developed in
the fundamental area of existential-philosophic conception and
hence the title - Absence (No I) - and the structure of
the album in which each composition corresponds to different
moments of the concept and are numbered according to this.
From the
title of a poem by Romina Daniele -
Assenza (o soglia
del mio dolore) [Absence
(or threshold of my pain)] - the concept behind the work
is thus announced in Part I (or Intro) which now
is the single titled Absence I.

SPANNUNG PERFORMANCE
PRESS RELEASE
Sunday, July 24th, within an event
patronized by Centro Musica Contermporanea and in collaboration with
Arci, Romina Daniele (winner of the international Demetrio Stratos
Award for vocal research in 2005 and 2007 and Arci Award for
experimental music in 2011) is performing at Carroponte, a big stage
in the Milan area.
Romina Daniele
during this show is going to present some compositions contained in
"Spannung", her new compositional project released
by Edizioni RDM.
"Spannung" draws its title from the term used by philosopher Martin
Heidegger to indicate the tension of being.
Along with the studies
carried on for more than ten years, on the one hand music
with new technologies is elected as a resarch means on man,
on the other hand voice is the most powerful and direct
means of human expression.
This resarch path starts
with "Diffrazioni Sonore" (2005), a complex
recording project focused on the relationship between vocal
improvisation and sound composition set through technologic tools.
Then it goes on with "Aisthànomai", The Tragedy of
Consciousness, (2008) that delves into relationships
between poetry and studio sound composition.
In the end it comes to a formal and unpublished performance,
"Spannung".
Reference to genre, from
blues to contemporary music, takes place in a ground which is
focused on research on sound and sound composition,
both in vocals and electronic music.

Romina Daniele Interviewed by Rick Moody for the Rumpus Magazine
<<Recently, I’ve been digging again through the wilds of the CD Baby
site, where no print run is too small and no approach to music is too
individual, and in this regard I have found a lot of great work recently,
some of which I will deal with here soon, but none of it more interesting
than an Italian exponent of extended vocal technique named Romina Daniele.
Daniele was born in Naples, but these days lives in Milan, where, I
imagine, the climate for experimental singing is more receptive. The
recording I happened on, entirely by chance, was her first,
Diffrazioni Sonore (2005), which consists entirely of multi-tracked,
and often entirely improvised vocal music, some of it treated digitally
(radical EQ, echo, and a little reverb), but otherwise left well enough
alone. Daniele’s approach has somewhat to do with the great exemplars of
this sort of “vocality” (of whom more below), but it is also wholly
singular in that the singer has never studied composition, and seems to
come more from the wilds of literature, and particularly from the wilds of
European philosophy, than from any rigorous background in music....>>

Corsica
magazine,
October 2008 by A. Michelucci:
<< [...] Romina Daniele (...) is
among the most interesting independent new artists of the Italian music
scene. She uses the voice like an instrument and this projects her in a
field of rarity (...) Aisthànomai (2008,
indipendent) (...) has gained a
good attention from the press. Two years ago, the musician put the first
brick of her sonorous and conceptual building with Diffrazioni Sonore (2005,
indipendent).
Aisthànomai continues on that way, clarifying the contents and the
focuses.
It is not just a record, but a
complex work in which sound, theory and poetry are interlaced (...) The
extreme particularity of the vocal approach is coupled with long texts,
and the vocal and poetic researches are married.
The record doesn’t fall “in to
the false waters of anti conformism”, as we can read in the booklet.
Romina Daniele refuses to be defined like an avant-garde artist, because
she thinks this expression is empty and abused.
Her research is directed to the
origin of the sound, not to a hypothetical future. The booklet contains a
long text in which Romina expresses her musical and philosophical
considerations [...] >>

one of those albums which we are always less used to (…) concentrating on
the sound, it is a work about frequencies, often about very low frequency
sound waves (…) The voice is the main theme of the entire album, not an
instrument, but a way to create synonyms; the
voice is the presence of the artist herself
(...) divided and re-composed, separated in frequencies which are able to
dilate, lay, smooth over and strengthen themselves (...) Romina Daniele is
presenting a work that leave the listener satisfied for the opportunity to
appreciate an experimental work and a research about sounds, dynamics,
vocal timber, theatre, poetry, aesthetics, body.>>

we have always been used to in our music listening. Intensity,
weirdness and theatrical atmospheres together in a reticular way. As
the artist says: ‘Aisthànomai involves sound diffractions and
introduces text diffractions (whereas the text commonly intended is
the symbol of the omniscience I want to unhinge) and digital
diffractions…’ [...] >>

Below a letter from Romina to all of you.
<<Dear
Friends,
I would
like to tell you personally (without cold mailing lists) how much I’m
sorry for the cancelled concert of Colorno, since many people confirmed
their participation.
Anyway,
this concert “dedicated to Demetrio” is just postponed to the next season.
That event
is going to be replaced by a Miss Italia competition evening…what we can
say about that…anyway Colorno is going to gain much more money…
The concert
is strongly wanted by Daniela Ronconi (wife of Demetrio Stratos) and I
would like to explain what does it mean being active “in memory of
Demetrio”.
First of
all, it doesn’t mean ’70 Prog and diplophony, and who is convinced that
these two categories together are the Demetrio Stratos opera…let me say
that he just loves Demetrio.
The
fundamentals of Demetrio Stratos opera correspond to a research commitment
at any cost, an opening towards an experimental space, not considering all
the genres and categories.
Who is
convinced that this work is just an external speculation of the artistic
persona didn’t understand a lot, who is rather going beyond social rules
and knows what does it mean ‘to be true’…then understands me.
My deep
research…and my strictness in doing just what I feel are leaving me behind
lots of ‘success opportunities’ and important proposals by agencies and
labels…but I am strongly convinced that if I stopped being strict, my work
would be vain and without any sense.
The
fundamentals of my research are the unconditioned freedom, a purity and a
truth of being and knowing.
Romina>>

Diffrazioni Sonore
reviewed by
Alberto Carozzi (Sands-zine):
"The
Daniele's
working method consists in to
record totally free vocal improvisations - singing, reciting, screaming
and vocalism
in a broad sense
- that are successively edited in complex set-compositions. It is a
contemporary concept of the composition process, in which the writing is
not on the paper but on the take, or the hard-disk; it involvs anyway an
arrangement and adjustment work as classical technique of composition
does.
Romina Daniele can be seen in a
new group of experimenters of the vocal expression possibilities..."

We, admirers of music,
we often turn up our nose
at certain kind of trial. Bad. It would need to approach the
subject with the necessary cultural and mental qualifications: here there
aren't tunes to croon, neither music to whistle (...) In Diffrazioni
Sonore we listen 30 minutes of vocalises, which are improvised during
a 3 hours studio session, but following 3 years of solitude, passion,
silence (...) A sonorous experiment in which the voice continuously
changes, exactly as a pinched and stretched spring does.>>

Diffrazioni Sonore
reviewed by Francesco Ovarelli
(territoriomusicale.it):
<<The
work that Romina Daniele has carried on over these years should not been
so easy.
The entire work is based on a
research exasperated to the core, to be retaken in several and improvised
sequences (...) The result, the first matter, is all here. The uneasiness,
the happiness, the pleasure, the serenity are some of the emotions which
Romina transmits to us through the most versatile and malleable instrument
at everyone’s disposal: the voice
(...) The voice supports the whole work, it's the only source for the
composition. Almost unconsciously, Romina realizes a splendid work in the
contemporaneous art ambit. The atmosphere is almost theatrical, crude and
visceral, marked by the superb and agonizing Romina’s vocal ups and downs.>>

Diffrazioni Sonore
reviewed by Luca Rapetti alias Slovo
(blogbuster.it): <<An introduction: the work
by Romina Daniele can be placed in the avant-garde. And a prayer:
listening keeping away every preconceived ideas, any pre-established music
rule, its common meanings, structures, constitutive elements. Now we're
ready to listen to "Diffrazioni Sonore" (...) The realization of this
project, supported by a strong philosophy (which is the Manifesto of the
work) is free from all the common processes as well (...) Works like this
obviously arise more questions than assertions: where is the line that
separates the experimentation and the ultimate result? (...)
Anyway, it must be said that
Romina shows great courage proposing a work like this, probably more than
that Stratos needed in the 70’s, when there was an audience very sensitive
to the experimentation.>>

Diffrazioni Sonore
reviewed by Alessandro Nespoli:
<<Does
anyone knows where the voice was born? Where does it goes? What's its use
and how does it works? Is it possible that this mean of communication,
this natural musical instrument is paralyzed in a limited and wrong
culture? In the West, this wall was pulled down by Demetrio Stratos,
voice, not in a limited sense, of the band “Area”: he started with rock
music and rhythm'n'blues,
from a popular sound, to take his vocal research out of every limit of the
musical experimentation; he implemented his technical work with
scientific, psychoanalytic, ethnic and anthropological researches which
enabled him to involve diplo-phonic and triplo-phonic techniques of
mongolian and tibetan origin, which enabled him to work in a field of an
avant-garde sound applied to the theatrical expression, as Antonin
Artaud's work.
This wide, but not dispersive,
preface, introduce us to the character of Romina Daniele who, worthy to be
a Stratos pupil, has produced a work strictly rare and elaborate, not
really mannered.>>

Diffrazioni Sonore
reviewed by Donato Zoppo:
"When
Area and Demetrio Stratos are mentioned, the frequent question is: who has
taken their legacy? Here she is, a great
heiress
not only for the vocalism but above all, for the deep exploration, spirit
of the Stratos's research. Romina Daniele has been awarded with the "Demetrio
Stratos international award for the musical experimentation" in 2005: her
bold and avant-garde project "Diffrazioni sonore" gave her this great
acknowledgement.".

By "Arezzo
Wave" Festival:
“Awarded with the prestigious DEMETRIO STRATOS award in 2005, Romina
Daniele is working in the field of the vocal research by combining
experimentation and feeling. The strong personality of this 25 years old
Neapolitan girl shows a rare artistic disposition in the contemporary
music research. The choice of InSound underlines her free and
stimulating way to intend the voice work." (from the page
www.arezzowave.com/festival/gruppo.php?ID=1526).
"Romina Daniele, artist
selected by the prestigiuos InSound magazine, confirms the expectations,
delighting the audience with vocal and sound alchemy. After been awarded
with the Demetrio Stratos award, the 25 years old Neapolitan girl seems
moving
towards a remarkable artistic growth, by a peculiar vocal research which
combines experimentation and pathos."
