Daniela Pes is a Sardinian musician and singer-songwriter born in the heart of Gallura in 1992.
Her voice and music elude classifications and predetermined containers. Daniela Pes is immersed in the flow of music, as a singer, as an instrumentalist, as an electronic musician.
Her 2023 triumph at the Targa Tenco for Best Debut Work with Spira, released on April 14th by Tanca Records, showcases her as an artist unbound by genre constraints. Daniela Pes engages with music as a singer, instrumentalist, and electronic explorer, revealing a versatile talent.
Her unconventional journey includes a jazz vocals degree from the Conservatorio di Sassari and participation in Paolo Fresu’s Nuoro Jazz Summer Seminars, leading to performances at Time in Jazz and the Harp Festival in Rio de Janeiro. Adding depth to her story are the accolades, including the prestigious 2017 Andrea Parodi award (celebrating critical acclaim, international jury recognition, best music, and outstanding arrangement) and the 2018 Musicultura awards for best music and Nuovoimaie.
The language reverberating sound. The sound that becomes utopia. Produced by IOSONOUNCANE, on April 14th, Spira, the debut album of singer, instrumentalist, and electronic musician Daniela Pes, is released. She is already a winner of the prestigious Andrea Parodi award in 2017, Nuovoimaie awards (2017 and 2018), and SIAE Best Music at Musicultura. Previewed by the single “Carme,” the album is released on Tanca Records on vinyl and all digital platforms.
Between elegant and dark electronic beats and cosmic ambient breaths, seven tracks enveloped in the voice of a multi-talented artist, dedicated to deconstructing the song form and breaking down language to create an esoteric sonic world where the archaic, contemporary, and futuristic entwine like the gravitational dance of two galaxies about to merge.
Spira is an album of visionary music interpreting the sonic dramaturgy as utopia. Utopia is nothing more than a model constructed to practice a radical critique of the existing. Thus, we face a daring and, anthropologically speaking, regal artist who, through her music, propels us elsewhere only to reveal glimpses of the reality of our present, where the logos appears compromised.
