Daniel Patrick Quinn (born February 26th, 1981, Ipswich, England) is a British musician, composer, producer and performer. Founder of the experimental Edinburgh-based record label Suilven Recordings (2003 - early 2006) which released his own works and that of postminimalist ambient American composers DAC Crowell and Kurt Doles, with whom he also collaborated. Quinn's work is difficult to pigeonhole, seemingly taking influence from as disparate genres as European folk and folklore, pastoral ambient, punk and post-punk, minimalism, classical, spoken-word, jazz and avant-garde thought. His 2005 composition The Burryman, which includes narration by Duncan Grahl regarding the Scottish custom of the Burryman was featured on the Sonic Arts Network compilation curated by comedian and writer Stewart Lee. He lives in Cumbria and fronts the London-based group One More Grain, whose second album, Isle of Grain, is due for release January 28th 2008 on White Heat Records. He is also currently working on a new solo album Acting The Rubber Pig.
