Biography

   Dacianos
Marie Kvamme, Barry Kavanagh and Håkon Larsen, Nystua festival, Eidsvoll Verk, Norway, 9 July 2010, by Lasse W. Fosshaug.


Biography:

'Beautiful, spiritual, melodic music... poignant music punctuated with moments of genuine joy.'

In 2009, Dacianos released the album Gratis? and work is still being done on the companion album, entitled Fables for Another Time. The recordings feature Barry Kavanagh (piano, voices, keyboards, guitars, harmonium, microcassette), Håkon Larsen (glockenspiel, tambourine, handclaps, dictionary, egg, shaker, drum pad, pot lids, water, drums), Marius Kolbenstvedt (metallophone, bass, sampler, moogerfoogers, synths, sitter, baritone guitar), Marie Kvamme (voice), Ilmar Wilbers (cellos) and Sara Cools Yri (glockenspiel & accordion).

Only Barry Kavanagh remains from the original band that first took form in Ireland and created two mini-albums, the mostly-acoustic Mis-showbusiness, released in 2000, and the second album , Hold Music, released in 2002, which went the other direction by utilizing both drum machine and sampler. The Irish musicians in the old days included John McMahon, who is a member of Rollers/Sparkers.

Over the next few years, Kavanagh was in London, UK , then he moved to Oslo, Norway in 2005. A collection of British and Norwegian musicians played on the CD In a Weird Chalet 2004-2006.

Dacianos continues in Norway, with the musicians mentioned above.
