Daniel Akzinor

I have been a musician since a child touching on more instruments than my parents cared for. My focus always changed until I became a teen where the electric bass became my choice. With a very anti-establishment attitude at the time I was attracted to underground music Punk, Deathrock and Industrial of the 80s. I promoted my own shows in Santa Barbara, CA under the title Masque. Bands that participated or were in my direct circle were: Null and Void, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Crash Worship, Anvil Wind, Trance to the Sun and This Ascension along with my project Bio-Hazard Industries. In 1990 I moved to Ashland, OR and reformed BHI with a new core group that eventually fell apart. Desiring a more structured compositional form of music I began working with David B. forming a new Industrial Noise project called Daath Kulture. 1993 was the year I moved to Portland, OR catching the tail end of the scene that was the X-Ray Café I quickly established myself in projects that lead to the development of a small artist run label called Asura Records. Musical work to the present day includes performance art pieces with my wife Xtian Detox as Wake World Industries. Band and groups include ZoneWire (Rock/Electro Industrial), Trigger Shock (Electro Industrial), Daath Kulture (Noise/Experimental) and The Adytum (EBM/IDM).

Currently working on a Masters Degree in Entertainment Business at Full Sail University. After completion of this degree Asura Records is to be incorporated as a cooperative in the state of Oregon. My trade skills include: Business and Project Management, Music Production, Event Management, Songwriting, Recording, Mastering, Remixing, Stage Lighting and Visual Production. Instruments: Bass, Synth/Keyboards, Percussion, Rhythm Guitar and Vocals. DAWs used ImageLine FL Studio and PreSonus Studio One Pro.
