BIOGRAPHY:

“There are no boxes for music that is able to reach the very depths of the soul and mind at once, music that moves the spirit and entrances the ear. DBR has created a work that will later be regarded as a masterpiece.” Evolution of Music

Known for fusing his classical music roots with a myriad of soundscapes, Haitian-
American artist Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR) has carved a reputation for himself as a
passionately innovative composer, performer, violinist, and band leader.  His exploration
of musical rhythms and classically-driven sounds is peppered by his own cultural
references and vibrant musical imagination.  As a composer, his dramatic soul-inspiring pieces range from orchestral scores and energetic chamber works to rock songs and electronica. According to the New York Times, his “eclecticism was wide-ranging as ever.”

DBR’s debut solo album, etudes4violin&electronix, is the classically-driven kaleidoscopic album for discerning new music lovers with a penchant for progressive electronic music. DBR displays his own intricate, hybrid series of solo works and pulsing duets with world class musicians including Philip Glass, Ryuichi Sakamoto, DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid and Christian A. Davis aka DJ Scientific. Deep and personal, soulful and contemplative, this album represents a unified dialogue between one Harlem-based, Haitian-American composer and ambassadors from today’s contemporary musical landscape.
