Daniel Patrick Quinn (born 26 February 1981) is a British musician, composer, producer, performer, author and creative thinking consultant. Quinn founded the experimental Edinburgh-based record label Suilven Recordings (2003 – early 2006), which released his own works and that of postminimalist ambient American composers DAC Crowell and Kurt Doles, with whom Quinn also collaborated.
Early life
Quinn was born in Ipswich, England on 26 February 1981.
Career
Quinn's work is influenced from numerous genres, including European folk and folklore, pastoral ambient, punk and post-punk, minimalism, classical, spoken-word, jazz, world and avant-garde. His 2005 composition The Burryman, which includes narration by Duncan Grahl regarding the Scottish custom of the Burryman, was featured on the Sonic Arts Network compilation, curated by comedian and writer, Stewart Lee. Quinn founded the London-based group, One More Grain, and its second album, Isle of Grain, was released on 28 January 2008 by White Heat Records. The album was received critical acclaim and was granted the Sunday Times Album of the Week feature and received airplay on BBC Radio 1.
Quinn contributed to trumpeter Andrew Blick's solo project, Gyratory System. He was working on a new Afrobeat-inspired solo album, Acting The Rubber Pig, when he announced his retirement from music. Quinn cited the lack of substantial industry funding for the group as the primary reason for his retirement. A posthumous One More Grain 7" single of the traditional English song Scarborough Fair was released via Static Caravan in 2008.
Following the announcement of his retirement, Quinn moved to Jakarta, Indonesia, and oversaw "In Nem", a New York minimalist-inspired, gamelan recording project in Central Java. This was in addition to writing liner notes for Trance Gamelan in Bali. Quinn then became a writer and editor for an Indonesian volcano website, Gunung Bagging, which provides information on the peaks of the country with 1,000 metres topographic prominence, known as the Ribus.
Quinn moved back to the UK and settled in Stornoway. His EP, I, Sun, was released via Bandcamp in April 2016.
A compilation of rare and unreleased material was released in 2021 with the title Swirling In The Backyard.
Currently Quinn is working as an author on hiking and creative thinking, and as a critical thinking and creative problem solving consultant. A fourth One More Grain album is due out in 2022 via Bandcamp.
