Daniel Heïkalo

Daniel Heïkalo is a Montréal-born musician and composer, who was involved in performing improvisation in the mid-seventies as part of the burgeoning improv scene of Montréal. He has continued to explore spontaneous music making since then, both as a solo performer, and in the Arthur Bull — Daniel Heïkalo Duo. Mainly a guitarist, he also performs on cittern, slide guitar, percussion and recorders, often adding his voice while improvising. As a versatile and flexible artist, his musical work is perfectly suited for theatre, film, dance, and radio productions, including Radio-Canada. Heïkalo also works as a recording engineer and sound designer, which has led to his involvement with electroacoustic composition. He has also recently added graphic design to his considerable artistic skills. Heïkalo lives in rural Nova Scotia, where he and his wife, Tamara, operate a studio and  production company, Heïkalo Sound Productions, releasing their projects.
