The music if Daniel Dorsch is rooted in post wall Berlin when electronic music clubs were springing up from the ground like mushrooms, with vintage drum machines, synthesizers, and turntables pumping out beats and ambient sounds till early morning.

Since those days,  Dorsch has traveled the world with various projects -composing with live electronics projects  from Japan to Jordan to Switzerland; creating ambient sound design for the Lyon Opera, as well as performing with bands like the Madonna HipHop Massaker, Recorder, Herr Blum, ALP.  Dorsch's new show, embodying his alter ego, Mr. π, brings back the early analogue machines and beats and combines them with his world of experience. 

Mr π incorporates sound samples from his world travels and puts them into a unique musical universe: waves of the Nil River, wind of the Sahara Desert, bells of the ancient XXXX Church in Tunisia, trains scratching to a halt in the junkyards of Berlin and blends them with his self made beats and bass lines. Always a dream, always a dance.

Daniel Dorsch is a Berlin-based sound artist, composer and inventor. His long musical history has taken him through popular music as well as contemporary theater and dance. He is currently performing live electronics with David Marton´s experimental music/theater group in a production of Bellini´s opera La Sonnambula at Munich Kammerspiele and working an a new production of Don Giovanni with Marton at the Opera de Lyon.

The Ele Meta Phone was developed by Dorsch for immersive sound installation events and has been shown at a number of festivals and in different ensembel settings. The electro-acoustical instrument uses both percussive sounds and electronically processed sounds to create a unique environmental sound. The flexible placement of of the instrument lends itself to Cage-like experiments in a variety of settings. Along with controlling the hammers hitting the motel rods. Dorsch also composes and improvises with the computer-generated electronic signal.

Currently the Ele-Meta-Phone is featured in the Munich Kammerspiele´s production of Jack Kerouac´s novel On the Road. Because of the instrument´s ambient and percussive qualities, it works well with spoken text and traditional instruments. Dorsch is still developing and experimenting with possibilities for the Ele-Meta-Phone.

Der in Berlin lebende Musiker und Komponist Daniel Dorsch kam von der klassischen über die experimentelle elektronische Musik Ende der 90er zur Rock/Popmusik, als er bei Madonna Hip Hop Massaker die Keyboards übernahm. Parallel dazu arbeitete er als Theatermusiker und Klanggestalter an Häusern wie dem Thalia Theater Hamburg, Staatstheater Stuttgart, Maxim Gorki Theater Berlin , Münchner Kammerspiele und zuletzt an der Opera Lyon. Umgebungsgeräusche, die Daniel Dorsch mit einem Aufnahmegerät sammelt, spielen in seiner Arbeit eine grosse Rolle. Sie bilden auch die Grundlage für sein Soloprogramm Villa Pii.
Hier treffen O-Töne auf Beats und Bassläufe. Experimentelle Musik wird zu Clubmusik transformiert, bei der er sein Publikum in verschiedene musikalische Welten entführt.
