Daniel Elder Music

It is arguably our greatest trial to overcome the adversary of the self; to resist defeat and rise anew each time we are broken.

Treating disagreement as a deadly threat opens a very black door of the soul.

A free-thinking society needs its guardians in every corner, and music too needs its own from within.

In a Marxist future art may stumble on, dead on its feet, but the messages we think we hear are but echoes from within its vacant shell.

In the Summer of 2020 I removed the comment function for all my recordings on YouTube.

All that is left are fractured souls in scattered realities.

We must foster the type of diversity that is most vital yet least mentioned if we are to avoid catastrophic polarization.

My poetry is almost always tailored for musical use.

On my homepage is the phrase “Music as truth.”

Music absorbs politics at its own peril.
