Daniel Beban is a musician, sound artist and producer who lives in Wellington, New Zealand. He performs on a number of different instruments in groups including Orchestra of Spheres, Devils Gate Outfit, Imbogodom, the Stinging Nettles, Farewell Spit and UMU. With these groups he has released recordings and toured extensively. He builds sound sculptures and invented instruments out of found objects and recycled materials. Through his work as a radio sound engineer, Daniel has experimented at length with reel-to-reel tape machines, which forms the basis of much of his electronic work. In 2009 Daniel founded the Frederick Street Sound and Light Exploration Society and was director of the associated venue Fred's, an important centre for creative music and arts from 2009-2012. Since 2013 he has managed Pyramid Club, Wellington's home for experimental music, which hosts weekly performances, exhibitions, workshops and other activities. In 2019 Daniel was awarded the Lilburn Research Fellowship to research and write about improvised music in Wellington during the 1980s.
