    A thrilling showcase of Daniel’s compositional abilities, Can Such Delightful Times Go On Forever? makes a compelling case that beauty and expression are essential tools for much more than mere survival.

    Daniel's sumptuous offering provides some brightness in days of darkness. [Feb 2026, p.39]

    It’s the sound of joyous, playful experimentation squatting the rarefied worlds of chamber ensembles and concert halls. .... Even when Daniel steps furthest into abstraction it never feels like pretensions towards aloof, high art alienation.

    Surrounded by a coterie of collaborators, he may not give us a concrete answer, but their investigation sure sounds like a delightful time.

    I miss the enveloping nature of Daniel’s last two albums, the feeling of floating through a particularly absorbing dream. But the new album does have plenty of buoyant moments.

    As a listening experience in one sweep, the album fascinates and lulls the listener in equal measure. Moments across the near 40 minute runtime pique your attention and are dazzling in a peculiar way.
