Dani Siciliano

Jazz-inflected vocals floating over a bed of glitchy household samples and warm clarinet. Sophisticated, slightly surreal electronic pop for late nights and rainy days.

Intro

Dani Siciliano creates a sound that feels like a classic jazz club being slowly disassembled and put back together by a computer. Her music is defined by a striking contrast between her warm, classically-informed vocal delivery and the cold, precise clicks and pops of experimental electronic production. It is intimate yet distant, rooted in the history of songcraft but obsessed with the possibilities of digital manipulation.

What truly sets her apart is her use of the clarinet and her background as a DJ. She treats her own voice and instruments as raw data to be sliced, reversed, and re-pitched, creating a rhythmic language out of domestic sounds and micro-samples. There is a playful, almost mischievous quality to how she subverts pop structures, often letting a song drift into a haze of static or a repetitive, hypnotic loop just when you expect a chorus.

Start with the album 'Likes...' to hear the perfect marriage of her jazz sensibilities and the 'accidental' beauty of glitch production. It captures the era's fascination with found sound while remaining deeply human and emotionally resonant. It is the ideal entry point for anyone who loves the intersection of organic performance and electronic experimentation.

Dani Siciliano is an American singer. She has worked with Matthew Herbert on several of his projects including the albums Around the House, Bodily Functions and Scale. She has also released three solo albums, Likes..., Slappers and Dani Siciliano.
