in Krakow and at the Salzburg Mozarteum with Prof. Boguslaw Schaeffer.

Alongside his more traditional compositions (most recently: “sans paroles

dans sables mouvants“ for sextet (2007) and "AquAria" (on a concept by

Claudia Herr) for underwater singing (2008)), Daske developed a form of

three-dimensional notation (“foliants“). In 2001 he founded the duo

“Soundscrapers“ with the Berlin Philharmonic bassist Janne Saksala and in

2002, the duo “Die Klangschürfer“ (“The Sound Diggers”) with the vocal

artist, Rainer Rudloff. Daske has created countless Hörspiele and other

works for radio (most recently: “no barking at any time” (2006)), sound

installations (“backbord ein kolibri”), childrens’ Hörspiele, music for theater

and film (most recently: “Lunik“ (2006/2007) and "Je voudrais être légère"

(Dance theater, Marseille 2008/2009)). Since 1989, together with Rainer

Rubbert, he has been artistic director of the concert series "Unerhörte

Musik" in Berlin. Daske has been running his own production studio since

1993: tribord studio.

CD productions with WERGO, edel-records, Hörverlag, Hörcompany and
