Dafydd Hughes (keys and Pure Data Programming)

Dafydd Hughes studied Jazz piano at Mohawk College and the University of Toronto. He graduated in 1999 with a degree in performance with a minor in composition. Over the following years he worked extensively as a freelance performer, composer and arranger in Toronto's Jazz, Popular and Improvised music scenes.

While Dafydd retains his deep love and respect for the traditions of music, in recent years he has been exploring new directions in musical creativity. Heavily influenced by musicians such as Brad Mehldau, Philip Jeck, Bill Frisell and Aphex Twin, he has been experimenting with the fusion of acoustic and electronic musical elements, using turntables, computers and synthesizers, as well as computer programming languages and environments such as Csound and Pure Data. The resulting music attempts to synthesize genres as seemingly disparate as church music, experimental improvisation, mainstream jazz, contemporary concert music and rock and roll.
