About / Press Kit
The Artist behind Nocturnal Omissions:
Nocturnal Omissions is the brainchild of "Vallen Daniels" (stage name of formerly DJ Vallen), who started off his earlier years in Enfield, CT, but quickly progressed to the underground scene of the NYC Metro and Seattle. Moving his way across the USA, the traveling musical nomad made time for his music wherever he could, from bringing to life artistic ideas on trains to laying down ideas for mixes on planes.
Through humble beginnings, Vallen learned an array of instruments as a child and soon progressed to digital music, unknown to himself these were the very early stages of Nocturnal Omissions. Playing around with multiple DAWs, and completely self-funded, Vallen drew inspiration from a diet of EBM, Classic Rock, Industrial Rock, Darkwave, Synthpop, Progressive Trance, Psybent, Ambient Rock, Chillwave, Hauntology, Minimal Techno, Synthwave, and Post-Rock.
Throughout the years, Nocturnal Omissions has produced and released more and more music, driven by pure passion and perhaps that never give up attitude. According to Vallen, his biggest drive is when a song generates traction, when a song resonates with listeners it becomes part of their lives. This level of intimacy and connection is when Vallen truly believes he has won. Hoping he can leave something behind that future generations will enjoy.
Fast Forward to modern day, Nocturnal Omissions is working on new material, including a post-rock follow up to their 2010s albums ‘Ascendant Sea’ (Transientalism and Tempus Destinatium), as well as another album with vocals, plus a litany of collaborative projects from 2008 - 2016. On top of all this, the band is focusing on putting its heart and soul into self-promotion and getting a record label established. On June 6th 2022, Paredolia, their 8th major release will be out. The future of subsequent releases may not happen, as after 25 years skirting around commercial success, questions have arisen regarding the direction or vision of future works. This has remained a studio project and the likeliness of future releases is becoming less likely as of 2022, we hope you enjoy the near 100 songs written by this artist.
Influences:
Though Nocturnal Omissions may subconsciously draw on inspirations from artists like Tycho, Aphex Twin, Air, VNV Nation, Porcupine Tree, Depeche Mode, NMN (Mushraka), TigerMilk (of Mainline Entertainment), Mick Rippon, The Cure, Moby, Wolfsheim, Covenant, God Lives Underwater, Trent Reznor, DJ Quik, Oingo Boingo, Tool, Genesis and Mike Patton - each albums sound, style and composition and style remains unique not only through their different albums but even within each track.
