François Houle & Daniel Janke

It all started when…

François Houle (clarinet) and Daniel Janke (piano) met in Berlin, Germany, and connected a few months later to make their new recording, Crystalline. This spontaneous collaboration between two accomplished improvised music creators is exciting and fresh. 

The new CD is available on all Digital Music Services (including Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, etc.), and you can buy physical copies here.

 Pianist and composer Daniel Janke is an eclectic musician, crossing styles and genres. He is an innovator on prepared and improvised piano. Daniel has composed music for NAC Touring Ensemble, Penderecki String Quartet, Standing Wave Ensemble, Toronto Symphony, Vancouver Symphony, NEM, and Bozzini String Quartet to name a few. He composed the score for Subconscious Password,short-listed for an Oscar award [NFB, 2014]. His recording Celestial Blue with violinist Mark Fewer [2016, Centrediscs] was nominated for a Western Canada Music Award.  https://danieljanke.com/
