After several years of gigging and recording with the accomplished Canadian singer and songwriter Stewart Hooey and his band Fiasco, Dal recorded an album of all-original material entitled “Notes from the Underground” in2004. The album included an assortment of high-octane players in an instrumental funk-fusion setting. In 2005 he relocated to London, England and during most of 2006 he was involved with a Finnish film director Kimmo Moykky on composing and recording part of the soundtrack for an upcoming independent feature entitled The Viva Voce Virus, which in a way, sparked a new project, the album “A long, dark night of the soul”. Drawn towards more atmospheric soundscapes, Dal was largely inspired by his literary and cinematic influences in writing the songs– Fassbinder, Dostoyevsky, Kafka, Tarr, Cassavetes, Dreyer, Kubrick, Lynch, Turgenev, Kieslowski, Bergman, Krleza. The album features Dal on most instruments, as well as Dom Pipkin (ex-Morcheeba) on Fender Rhodes.
At the moment, Dal is in a process of assembling a group that will largely be performing the material from “A long, dark night…”. During future live performances, Dal hopes to strike a fine balance between a loosely improvisational jazz quartet that thrives on textures rather than individual solos and a film score territory, where one can close one’s eyes while listening to the music and envision a story that goes with it…
