Daniel Eisner Harle is a British music producer and composer who records under the alias Danny L Harle. He has released two singles through the London-based PC Music label and is a member of Dux Content with A. G. Cook. His songs are among the most chart-friendly work from the offbeat label. ==Biography== Harle is the son of saxophonist John Harle and has an older brother Matthew.〔 He played the cello as a child but did not have a strong interest in music. At the age of 12, Harle learned bass guitar after discovering bands like Slipknot and Madness. He picked up free jazz and participated in the Royal Academy of Music's junior jazz group. In 2006, John Harle recorded Daniel's song "Caesar Hath Wept" with the Duke Quartet. Harle went to Goldsmiths, University of London to study classical music.〔 He began recording campy electronic music in 2010, influenced by Scandinavian skweee music. His thesis was chamber music that combined traditional musical instruments with video game consoles playing ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'' and ''Street Fighter II: The World Warrior''.〔 While at Goldsmiths, Harle reconnected with A. G. Cook, with whom he had attended school as a teenager. The two bonded over their shared musical tastes and interest in comedy duo Tim & Eric. This grew into a musical project called Dux Content.〔 Since they did not have a vocalist, Dux Content focused on musical experiments like compound metres and changes in tempo.〔 One of their earlier works was a collection of compositions for the Disklavier reproducing piano, released with Spencer Noble and Tim Phillips under the name "Dux Consort". Dux Content released its songs with strange renderings of digital avatars for promotional artwork.〔 They contributed to the score for Alicia Norman's animated film ''Heart of Death'' and began considering a children's television show titled ''Dux Content's Jungle Jam''. Harle and Cook explored how to build rhythms out of a vocalist's natural singing tempo and released the results as "Dux Kidz".〔 Harle's work with Cook allowed him to branch into pop songwriting and production. He initially struggled to replicate the vigor and simplicity of pop music. After producer Enchanté invited him to perform at a gallery in Stroud, Harle felt guilty at the prospect of playing music by other artists. He decided to write a song that would fit with 1990s dance music. The resulting track, "Broken Flowers", was released on Cook's fledgling PC Music label in mid 2013. Harle described the song as "completely frivolous", explaining that he was "trying to make the most completely conventional song."〔 "Broken Flowers" uses rapid trance arpeggios, an organ bassline, and synthesiser parts similar to work by video game composers Koji Kondo and Nobuo Uematsu. It was viewed as one of the label's more mature releases for the twist in its rhyme scheme.〔 ''Fact'' magazine placed "Broken Flowers" 79th on its list of the "100 best tracks of the decade so far".〔 Harle worked on the sound design for John Harle's 2014 album ''The Tyburn Tree (Dark London)'' with singer Marc Almond. That October, Harle released his second single "In My Dreams" with singer Raffy. It has a jumpy, upbeat rhythm with a xylophone part, and Raffy's vocals are cheerful but detached. Noisey ranked "In My Dreams" 8th on its list of the best songs of 2014, and ''Complex'' magazine placed the song 14th on its year-end list. For Christmas of 2014, Harle and Raffy recorded a cover of East 17's 1994 Christmas number one "Stay Another Day". He stated in February 2015 that, although he has enough tracks to make an album, he is focusing on recording new songs with Raffy.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Danny L Harle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
