About the Producer
What if the Classical Masters had access to electric guitars, amps, fuzz boxes, wah wah pedals, digital delays, flangers, multitrack hard disk recording devices, computers and other various digital sound processing toys? Dan Sindel, a “One Man Orchestra” recreates orchestral scores by transposing and transcribing the compositions to fit the guitar’s tonal range. Hundreds of layered guitar tracks create a massive electric guitar “Wall of Sound.”
Dan has been recording an extensive catalog of public domain orchestral works showcasing his musical depth and versatility as well as his own diverse musical compositions. His musical influences range from classical, jazz, ragtime, big band, swing, marching band to rock and heavy metal in all its forms. Music is his passion and Dan’s demo work has been receiving international acclaim, airplay, and was voted first place in the 2005 DMusic Awards in the classical category with his interpretation of Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons - The Spring.” 2006 was a great year; having received well over 200,000 downloads via his site, blog and podcast, Dan is absolutely thrilled as an upcoming artist to see that so many people are enjoying his Symphonic Guitar approach. Dan is in pre-production for his debut Album, “Marching In - A Tribute To The March King, John Philip Sousa,” working in conjunction with Grammy Award Winning engineer, Khaliq Glover (Marcus Miller/Herbie Hancock/Prince).
Show Notes
Dan Sindel of Symphonic Guitars says, “While my guitar is the heart and soul of my orchestral scores, FeedBurner is the heart and soul of my blog and podcast feeds.” This episode features Pachelbel’s “Canon in D Major” and the beloved traditional Irish Melody “Danny Boy.”
