Romina Daniele's interview granted to the American publication Voyage Miami Magazine. The story of her journey across historical studies, avant-garde, an independent label, and vocal research. The presentation of the Jadys Daniele's live music project in Miami Beach.
PRESS REVIEW
In the Press Review section, we present the full text of the interview granted by Romina Daniele to Voyage Miami Magazine. The conversation retraces the fundamental milestones of her artistic journey—from her studies in Italy on sound art and vocal research to the birth of the independent label RDM Records—and introduces the cultural objectives of the Jadys Daniele's live music project in Miami Beach.
« I never used music or composing to merely entertain (even if the show has its great importance, of course), and I refused some record label proposals, choosing to have my own independent label. I also believe that real rock music has always been the real avant-garde (since I don’t care about avant-garde as a classification), and I never think of the blues as a genre, but as the feeling of sound itself.
I never produced records in one day, even if I based them on improvisation. I really care about composing with the recorded improvised materials (creating structures and levels of tracks and time) and the concept and message to deliver to the final listener; so I couldn’t write a book on the voice in a brief way, since I am still searching for answers while I write it, or better: I write it as I research. And in the same way, I compose music: improvising, analyzing, and thencreating structures and frames.
I am starting up a live music venue in Miami Beach; my baby was born in Miami, and that’s the place where I am based lately.
To be alone is necessary for the process of creation. However, drinking and laughing are equally important. As I was mentioning, we strongly wish to create a connection between artists and musicians with our place dedicated to live music. So if you are in the Miami area, you should connect with us; we are looking forward to the grand opening, and we’ll announce it shortly. »
Today we’d like to introduce you to Romina Daniele.
Romina, we’d love to hear your story and how you got to where you are today both personally and as an artist.
I am from Naples, Italy, where I studied the history of art and cinema, classical guitar, and modern singing, and I have lived in Milan, Italy, for about 15 years, where I studied sound art and have been awarded different prizes, two of them dedicated to experimental music and vocal research.
Since 2005, I have produced three books (one of these is my degree dissertation on Miles Davis's music for the first Louis Malle movie) and three records under my name, and two others as collaborations.
I performed in Europe, mostly in the Milan area, solo for voice and electronics and with a band, with which I was focused on a rock-blues and fusion selection of pieces; and in my last record, you can therefore find a true multitude of components from all imaginable points of view.
My goal has always been to find answers to the unknown; the brain is still unknown in the field of medicine, and in the same way, sound is still unknown in that of physics. And the brain and sound are deeply involved in composing as well as in singing. And they are connected in a unique way.
I never used music or composing to merely entertain (even if the show has its great importance, of course), and I refused some record label proposals, choosing to have my own independent label. I also believe that real rock music has always been the real avant-garde (since I don’t care about avant-garde as a classification), and I never think of the blues as a genre, but as the feeling of sound itself.
I found an ideal connection between the sound of the history of classical music with contemporary electronic and sound art and rock-blues: improvisation and the recording of the improvised sound. This is the way I compose.
I was writing a book about the voice as the pillar and heart of everything, touching upon a multitude of fields in about one thousand pages. It was almost at its final stage when I came to America to explore new possibilities in the land where the blues was born, and during that period, my daughter arrived, about two years ago.
I never produced records in one day, even if I based them on improvisation. I really care about composing with the recorded improvised materials (creating structures and levels of tracks and time) and the concept and the message to deliver to the final listener; so I couldn’t write a book on the voice in a brief way, since I am still searching for answers while I write it, or better: I write it as I research. And in the same way, I compose music: improvising, analyzing, and so creating structures and frames.
I am starting up a live music venue in Miami Beach; my baby was born in Miami, and that’s the place where I am based lately.
To be alone is necessary for the process of creation. However, drinking and laughing are equally important. As I was mentioning, we strongly wish to create a connection between artists and musicians with our place dedicated to live music. So if you are in the Miami area, you should connect with us; we are looking forward to the grand opening, and we’ll announce it shortly. We are located at 1311 Washington Avenue in Miami Beach, and the name Jadys Daniele’s is taken from that of my daughter.
Do you have any events or exhibitions coming up? Where would one go to see more of your work? How can people support you and your artwork?
You can listen to my full discography everywhere, from YouTube to Spotify and other channels like these. You can also buy records or books on Amazon or anywhere else, which I strongly recommend, of course, since I really care about physical materials and my last work is a triple CD with a lot of images and texts.
I am not having concerts right now since my baby was born and I moved to Florida, but I will have them soon (I havestarted to work with some booking agencies) both solo and with a band. I’ll find local musicians as well. I am currently working on the startup of my live music venue, and we wish it to be a touchstone for artists and musicians. Actually, since I am scheduling live music, I have already started to be in contact with many of them.
