Danniel RIBEIRO is a Brazilian composer from Bahia whose work links research, instrument design, and performance. His practice centers on exploratory instrumental writing and improvisation with electronics, informed by investigations into culture, identity, and the social dimensions of contemporary concert music. He focuses on musical gesture, instrumentality, and materiality, expanding the expressive possibilities of complex timbral structures and hybrid instrumental-sound assemblages. His pieces often involve tailored preparations and modifications, custom notational systems, sculptural performance objects, amplification and transduction setups, and performance techniques specific to each project.

Danniel’s compositional roots are tied to the Grupo de Compositores da Bahia (Brazil). He studied with Paulo Costa Lima, Agnaldo Ribeiro, and Wellington Gomes, who carried forward the group’s tradition of cultural resistance and experimentation. He is a four-time recipient of the National Prize for Classical Composition from the National Foundation of the Arts of Brazil (FUNARTE), awarded in 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2023, and has received research grants in Brazil, Canada, and the United States that support his contributions to composition and theory. His work aims to critically engage with the social and cultural dimensions of contemporary concert music through research, analysis, performance, and creation, exploring how idiosyncratic artistic invention intersects with broader cultural dynamics, historical resonance, and shifting boundaries between music and sound.

His performance practice centers on the electric guitar and its evolving expressive range. He investigates extended techniques, preparation, and augmentation of the instrument, as well as its changing stylistic vocabularies. His activities include live spontaneous compositions, studio work involving recorded and transformed performances, long-term collaborative projects, and the exploration of augmented instrumental setups.

Danniel has participated in festivals and residencies such as Klangspuren Schwaz (Austria), Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity (Canada), Domaine Forget (Canada), Barcelona Modern (Spain), Darmstadt Summer Course (Germany), Festival Musica (France), New Music on the Point (USA), DePaul Summer Residency for New Music (USA), and ilSUONO (Italy), among others. His works have been presented at events and venues including Festival Empreintes (France), Festival de Morelia (Mexico), Sala São Paulo (Brazil), and the Biennial for Brazilian Contemporary Music.

He has collaborated with ensembles such as L’Instant Donné, Yarn/Wire, Schallfeld, JACK Quartet, Barcelona Modern, RAGE Thormbones, collective lovemusic, Dal Niente, Vertixe Sonora, Suono Giallo, Eco, Paramirabo, and Abstrai. His artistic development has also been shaped by private lessons and advanced studies with Chaya Czernowin, Franck Bedrossian, Clara Iannotta, Philippe Hurel, Malin Bång, Toshio Hosokawa, Felipe Lara, Daniel D'Adamo, Januibe Tejera, Mark Andre, Brian Ferneyhough, and Du Yun.

Danniel earned his master’s degree in composition (M.Mus.) at the Schulich School of Music of McGill University (Montreal, Canada) in 2018, studying with Philippe Leroux and expanding his training in music theory with Christopher Neidhöfer and Robert Hasegawa. As a laureate of the 2023–24 George Ladd Prix de Paris, he pursued independent studies in France and completed a postgraduate specialization in instrumental and mixed composition at the Conservatoire de Strasbourg. He is currently a Ph.D. candidate in music composition at the University of California, Berkeley, where he studies with Edmund Campion, Ken Ueno, Myra Melford, and Carmine-Emanuele Cella.
