DaDaWake is concert music for infants and their parents.
DaDaWake deals with communication in its basic level, the way babies respond to bird songs, and relate to white noise.
It speaks and enriches this language.
DaDaWake is quiet modern music. Its length is about 45 minutes.
It is meant for new parents to go out to hear a concert, and allow babies to focus on the sound or fall asleep.
It consists of soothing melodies and harmonies, and it maintains a sort of light humor and emotions – a lullaby in slow motion, combined with nature sounds, performed by highly trained musicians.
In 2020, as a new parent who went into lockdown with my newly born baby, and as a musician in a foreign country, I found that the only thing that could answer my growing basic social need was a judgement-free forum, that is also free of spoken communication.
As funny as it is, and probably because it is simply true – musicians, and infants, provide that kind of interaction!
One of my main goals with this piece is to create an ongoing forum, and a reason for new parents to get out of the house with their babies and enjoy a concert.
