Finally, I can say warm hello to deezer comunity. Hello!!!
Daniel Artiček-Dane, poetry singer-songwriter
From CNC lathe to poetry,
That day, standing beside a huge CNC lathe, Dane suddenly felt a thought and written it down on a dirty wall. It turns out it was a poem. His first one. That year in 2011, he wrote eighty more. Five years later, he already have published the third printed edition of poems collections and recorded more than 50 songs and 1 album (Slep). Dane was introduced in 25-anniversary edition of Almanac of the City of Kamnik, Slovenia, 2020.
30 years of cheating Fate
It takes almost thirty years, for a drummer who sold his drum set for the sake of surviving and went to work an everyday job, to finally became what he really is – a poet, singer-songwriter and performer - chansonier. You can’t cheat Fate. At least not forever.
Live, writing, singing and biting
So, in his fifties, Dane begun to write poems and music gathered in his soul. His poetry and songs, expresses a unique cocktail of meditative tranquility and satiric, joyful or/and realistic songs of everyday life. His original, gentle melodies are pleasant, poems brings understanding, acceptance, consolation and finally – relaxation-tranquility to the listener. Past five years shows wide interest for his music in range of age from 12-85 years. His music reflects many styles and genres however his personal, minimalistic expression is “the salt of earth” in chanson, country, rock, folk, etc.
Make it good, a bit insane
In addition to solo performances on local stages, with his, at the time group "ŠanSončki", he also performed on widely known stages such as "Cafe Galeria Piran", "Blunout club" in Domžale and "Rotovž" in Kamnik. His performance at the international singer-songwriter festival Exposure Music Festival 2019, in Croatia, also brought him recognition in the region and invitations to new gigs. He performed solo at the international public opening of the first Slovenia “Statue of Liberty”, which was closely monitored by media from all over the World.
Shout silently,
Dane likes to remember the very first recording session for the album "Slep" working with guitarist Marino Mrčela and well-known music arranger Dušan Zore. After Dane sung few words, Dušan, also sound engineer, stopped recording saying to him: "Well, well, Dane! Easy! You don't have to yell that much! We do have a microphone…!” They continue recording with a lot of laugh on that account.
Life Beside music
Dane loves interweaving of photography, graphic and industrial design, video, music, woodworking and farming. He had few chickens, sheep and llamas for a while for the sake of eco-pasture on domestic grassland – though he never ate any of them. He gave them away to neighbor, because rooster was present on every demo tape, joining music with its loud and proud “kukurikuuuu…!!!”
There is more to come
Dane has a whole bunch of songs and stories in the works. Many of them have already been published in printed editions of poetry collections. The fourth one is on the way along with new singles and EP releases.
