A highlight reel of music by Daniel Finch, also known as zenith soundscapes on YouTube. I compose, perform, conduct, produce, record, mix and master my work, largely for briefs as a media composer as well as live performances.
I’m a composer who creates emotive and identifiable sound worlds through music, using a blend of live musicians and bespoke electronic instruments, creating a unique voice. I love creative projects that demand truly new music, I adore the unique and immersive.
I love performing and recording instruments in my music combined with custom synthesised sounds, similar to Ludwig Göransson's style, as I believe the personal and natural touch elevates emotions, developing characteristics that are unique to me and the project. As a flautist from a young age, I developed my style and use my flute as a natural and human storytelling device. Storytelling and emotions are core parts of my musical philosophy, inspiring me to write authentically with true passion.
I hope you enjoy my music and you can find more of my work on this channel/website or this link: https://linktr.ee/danielsfinch
