Daren Keck fell in love with music composition at the age of 11 after he discovered a midi sequencer on the family computer. He has been creating music and pushing the boundaries of audio production techniques ever since. He has a degree in Digital and Experimental Arts from the University of Washington, where he also studied music theory, music history, and digital audio. Daren's music explores intriguing beats, simple compact melodies, and unique chord progressions. The results tend to be cinematic in nature, with a mix of electronic elements thrown in for good measure. Daren Keck's debut release '7 Years Under' consists of ten all original compositions that showcase his superb compositional and production techniques.
