Life Toward Twilight is the main focus of Daniel Tuttle with vocal contributions by Elyse Reardon
Influences
Most of the music for Life Toward Twilight is inspired by the sensual realm and personal experiences. I am focused on capturing and showcasing beauty, though it is beauty that is typically very harsh and quite dark. I'm not usually interested in saying something, but rather showing something.
I find huge inspiration in the works of John Cage, David Lynch, Coil, Current 93, and Shinjuku Thief. I am also hugely inspired the German Expressionist movement, and the surrealist movement. I often like to present a view of the world that doesn't quite fit.
Sounds Like
"...it is as if these are visions and sounds picked up by the ghost of a deceased person, who still lingers somewhere between this world and the next... Even childhood memories and pictures of lost innocence drift through the consciousness of the musical protagonist. You can feel the yearning, madness, and grief, and that makes this a beautiful piece of music." - Evening of Light
"The CD is haunting, but never haunted. We're not taken on some heavy-handed "creepy" journey. This isn't the soundtrack for a horror film about undead tots in a contaminated nursery. It's the sound of an old, decaying orphanage where the echoes of children and songs just want to be tucked in until the end of time." - Sepiachord
In the in-between, the space between a flower’s full bloom and the wilting of its last petal, between sculpture and debris, between sunset and twilight, here is where Life Toward Twilight’s atmosphere is sired. Here is created an ambiance of beauty and distress in a euphonic equilibrium of static, lullaby, and aria.

The album I really like is Catayo. I especially love "A body flees while a mind is imprisoned." It's a fantastic track. Beautiful, dark, mysterious- in a word, awesome! Cool cover art as well.

The absence of unhappiness doesn’t mean happiness. The absence from suffering doesn’t mean well-being. Not to judge doesn’t mean to have compassion. Not to hate doesn’t mean to love. To be free from desire doesn’t mean to be needless. Thinking to be doesn’t mean being.
But what does it all mean?
