At eight, she sang lullabies with\n              her grandmother in Gallurese; by thirteen, she was transcribing jazz solos for fun.\n            \u003C\u002Fp>\n          \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n          \u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-6 col-12 mt-3 \">\n            \u003Cp>\n              Formal studies came later, including a jazz voice degree at the Conservatorio Luigi Canepa in Sassari that\n              gave her the harmonic understanding and control to explore phrasing, silence, and tonality. But the pull\n              of Sardinia never faded. Even while working through standards or vocal improvisation, Daniela would find\n              herself returning to modal intervals and rhythms embedded in the folk music of her upbringing.\n            \u003C\u002Fp>\n          \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n          \u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-6 col-12 mt-3 \">\n            \u003Cp class=\"quote\">\n              Since the age of 13 years old, I started playing, singing and listening to a lot of jazz music … the\n              biggest strategies for me come from my path into jazz music.\n            \u003C\u002Fp>\n          \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n          \u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-6 col-12 mt-3\">\n            \u003Cimg src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedias.arturia.net\u002Fimages\u002Fstories\u002Fdaniela-pes\u002F04.jpg\" alt=\" \" class=\"img-responsive\" \u002F>\n          \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n      \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n    \u003C\u002Fsection>\n    \u003Csection class=\"section bg-black text-white\">\n      \u003Cdiv class=\"container\">\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"row justify-content-center align-items-center\">\n          \u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-6 col-12 mt-3 \">\n            \u003Ch2>\n              Tradition as material\n            \u003C\u002Fh2>\n            \u003Cp>\n              Rather than directly signifying Sardinian tradition, Daniela prefers to let it speak through the subtle\n              elements of her composition. A chant becomes a drone. A frame drum crack becomes texture. Folk rhythms and\n              vocal passages weave among synthesized sounds, representing a unique interpretation of her experience and\n              the island locality she holds dear to her heart.\n            \u003C\u002Fp>\n            \u003Cp>\n              Some references are explicit such as field recordings, which are processed and blended into her\n              performances. Other times, they’re spectral - modes, inflections, or vowel shapes that reveal their roots\n              only after the fact. What is evident is that Daniela’s inspiration rests in the living connection she has\n              with her environment.\n            \u003C\u002Fp>\n            \u003Cp class=\"quote\">\n              Take your roots, your tradition, the ancients inside you and then modulate and make those things evolve to\n              another shape, to a new shape for you.\n            \u003C\u002Fp>\n          \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n          \u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-6 col-12 mt-3\">\n            \u003Ch2>\n              A debut to remember\n            \u003C\u002Fh2>\n            \u003Cp>\n              Spira (2023) marked Daniela’s first solo release, but it arrived fully formed. Produced by Iosonouncane\n              and released via Tanca Records, the album is a dense, immersive work that blends electronic production\n              with vocal experimentation. Vocals drift between languages, from Italian and Gallurese to invented\n              phonemes. There are no “songs” in the traditional sense; rather, each piece unfolds as its own\n              compositional form: layered, circular and eruptive.\n            \u003C\u002Fp>\n            \u003Cp>\n              Rhythm, ambience, wordless chants, and synth gestures collide with raw vocal phrases. Spira has been\n              hailed as a bold redefinition of Italian songwriting, lyrical, but in a language all its own. The Premio\n              Tenco jury awarded it Best First Work and Daniela’s touring schedule has been ever-expanding since.\n            \u003C\u002Fp>\n          \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n        \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n      \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n    \u003C\u002Fsection>\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"d-flex justify-content-center\">\n      \u003Cimg src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedias.arturia.net\u002Fimages\u002Fstories\u002Fdaniela-pes\u002F05.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid\" \u002F>\n    \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n    \u003Csection class=\"section\">\n      \u003Cdiv class=\"container\">\n        \u003Cdiv class=\"row justify-content-center align-items-center\">\n          \u003Cdiv class=\"col-md-6 col-12 mt-3\">\n            \u003Ch2>\n              The stage as sanctuary\n            \u003C\u002Fh2>\n            \u003Cp>\n              Following Spira’s release, Pes launched into an extended tour from ancient Sardinian churches and Berlin\n              squats to experimental venues throughout Europe.

It became her way\n              of bringing the album's palette into a live, reactive context. As her touring setup\n              evolved, she added the MiniFreak to expand her real-time control and sonic range,\n              along with the MiniLab controller for hands-on flexibility.\n            \u003C\u002Fp>\n            \u003Cp>\n              Compact, powerful, and tour-hardened, the white-orange MiniFreak Vocoder Edition\n              allows Pes to further shift roles mid-set.

Sometimes it begins with a word;\n            other times a beat, or a vowel, or a breath. Her tools, like MiniFreak, aren’t just instruments. They’re\n            vital components and co-authors in expressing her inner world and uniting the experimental and folk elements\n            of her sound.\n          \u003C\u002Fp>\n          \u003Cp>\n            Her next album, tentatively titled Altrove (“Elsewhere”), is already taking shape.
