D. Glare stands as a versatile and boundary-pushing musician with a rich and diverse musical background. Renowned for improvisational prowess, Clare has shared stages with iconic acts like Sun Ra’s Arkestra, Damo Suzuki of Can, Chris Corsano, Mick Beck, and the eclectic ensemble Chrome Hoof.

Formerly a member of CHOPS (Upset The Rhythm!) and RUNNERS (Dummy), Clare’s global footprint extends across prestigious venues, festivals, and art galleries worldwide, including appearances at Nyege Nyege Festival, Field Day, ZXZW/Incubate, the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA London).

Under the pseudonym D. Glare, Clare has carved a distinct solo path, releasing captivating music on labels such as Opal Tapes and Zona Watusa. Additionally, his collaborative efforts with Chrononautz, Rick Holland as Pattern Man and Chinese artist Zhang Ding attest to Clare’s continual exploration and influence within the realm of experimental and electronic music. From clubs like Corsica Studios to art galleries like the Museo Nacional Centro De Arte Reina Sofia, Gillman Barracks Singapore and K11
Shanghai, D. Glare’s sonic voyages and collaborations mark him as a pioneering force in the global music scene.

Having taken a step back from releasing and performing to concentrate on his mastering business, Declared Sound (which has become something of a go-to for experimental dance music from all corners of the world, not least with Nyege Nyege Tapes) an appearance at Vokanofest is a rare treat!
Expect live synthesis, thumping, blurzzed techno operating at the fringes of abstraction and obscurity for a frenetic dancefloor experience.
