A true world citizen, Daniel grew up absorbing a diversity of European cultures and languages. The result is a multi-layered, multi-cultural exploration of the emotional and spiritual complexities of life. A sonic magic-realism.
With a passion for the Rhodes electric piano, analogue synths and hooked on all things electronic, Daniel’s sound is a unique combination of his early influences (Krautrock cosmic synths, 70s jazz-fusion, ECM label jazz, Motown soul and West-coast rock) as well as more experimental ambient electronic minimalism.
He is the founder of legendary experimental label Sargasso and has released over 40 albums, whether solo, with his bands Mysteries Of The Revolution and Echo Engine, or with long-term collaborator Colin Bass (from prog band Camel). Biro (pronounced bee-ro) has also worked extensively as a media composer and sound designer for award-winning films, TV documentaries, theatre, dance productions and art installations.

“… a deep sense of introspective warmth.“ The Wire
"Daniel Biro brings together three of the greatest progressive music traditions: Berlin-style electronics, prog rock synths and jazz fusion keyboards... he develops transfixing electronic sequences inspired by early Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze and other iconic German artists. Additionally, Biro creates awe-inspiring atmospheres and tops it off with memorable synth solos and his signature Rhodes electric piano jazz-rock work." Progressive Rock Central

“…draws on minimal electronic and jazz idioms to promising and fascinating effect.” Louise Gray

“A quirky, unusual and ultimately satisfying journey for those who admire experimentation and minimalism.” The Wire
“So beautifully crafted it already sounds like a classic. I love it.” Russell Jones
“The elegance, mystery, joy, and melancholy, heard in these pieces, combine into one monumental, multifaceted project that may just be one of the twenty-first century’s greatest artistic commitment’s to the sound and use of vintage keyboards.” Tunedloud
“Attention to detail means these songs immerse the listener into a dazzling world. Mystical and majestic” Eric Baker
