"Rio en Medio is the musical adventure of Brooklyn-based singer/ukulelist Danielle Stech-Homsy. A New Mexico native, Danielle was born into visions and questions. With a gay Syrian painter and a Ukrainian flamenco dancer for parents, peculiar circumstance and mysterious blessings were the norm, laying the foundation for the unusual artistic expression that would eventually come. Danielle's songwriting reflects a vast scope of influence from techno to traditional folk to early and contemporary classical, drawing on literature as well as music, from ancient to avant, and incorporating elements of chance. Her crystalline vocals, delicately strummed baritone ukulele and found sonic elements evoke the strange delight of a dream where the dreamer's authority is always in question. At its best, the gentle, the fearful, the sorrowful, the formidable, the entranced and the rambunctious collide to create a sound that is as responsive as it is moving. In her own words, it is music that wants to listen as much as be heard. Danielle has performed and recorded with a wide variety of outstanding artists, including Vetiver, Devendra Banhart, CocoRosie, Tarantula A.D. (Priest Bird), Tim Fite, Patrick Wolf and Vashti Bunyan. In addition, she recently appeared at Englands All Tomorrows Parties Festival. Her debut album, The Bride of Dynamite (forthcoming on Gnomonsong) is an intricate collage of layered vocals, delicately plucked ukulele, ghostly samples and gritty, deconstructed electronics, all performed by Danielle. Special touches were contributed to some tunes by Andy Cabic (Vetiver),Sierra Casady (CocoRosie), Tim Fite and David Coulter among others."
