The REVELATION project was officially formed and had its very humble beginnings when Daniel was living at home in his parents basement in Stamford, CT (U.S.A.), on Tuesday May 14th, 1985 when Daniel was only 19 years old. It was at this time that Daniel first began writing down his ideas for what has now become his lifelong project. The initial traces of this project can be exactly traced to this time.
((( ~ sound animator ~ ))) is a TOTALLY unique individual and creative entity and his eclectic project was formed around his personal visions to engage in sonic explorations of inner and outer space phenomena in both musical, lyrical and visual terms.
