About Me

dadala transforms and combines material contributed by an eclectic assortment of musicians and sound-artists (including original recordings from dadala’s founder and collaborators) – blurring the boundaries between experimental and traditional, hi tech and lo-fi, digital and analog, improvisation and composition, conscious intent and surreal synchronicity – blending diverse styles such as free jazz and fusion, abstract electronic, folk, bluegrass, art-clatter and avant-garage.
UPDATE: the new dadala CD 'candy fish barrel' is now available at CDBaby.com
