Daniel Riera Ensemble: Future Flutist with Electric Ensemble

Drawing inspiration from ’70s jazz, funk, and the rhythmic tug of post-Dilla hip-hop, Daniel Riera presents new music for flute, wind controller, and electric ensemble. The multi-instrumentalist is well known for his impressive performances on the wind controller, a digital woodwind delivering earth-shaking bass, acidic melodies, and even chords.

Featuring:
Daniel Riera – flute, wind controller
Kev Choice – keyboards
Dame Drummer – drums
Kai Lyons – guitar
Camille Mai – vocals
