Composer Daniel Biro studied jazz music, but quickly turned to more experimental forms of expression. Since the early '90s he has thrived on finding new applications for the minimalist techniques of Philip Glass. He released three CDs on the U.K. label Sargasso during the '90s.
Biro was born in Rome, Italy, of Hungarian parents. He grew up in the south of France, where he studied keyboards at the Jazz Conservatory of Monaco and Nice University. The latter city's famous poet, %Jean Cocteau, had a strong influence on the composer's themes and imagery. Biro got involved in various experimental bands and started to write music for the theatre, an activity he pursued after moving to London in 1985.
