Forest Management is the solo guise of John Daniel (b. 1989), an American musician and composer living in Chicago, Illinois. Active since 2011, Forest Management has released four full-length LPs and a number of cassette and CDrs on various underground labels (including Perfect Wave, Constellation Tatsu, and No Rent), as well as collaborations with modern ambient artists Celer and David Tagg. Initially a touring drummer for various bands in his hometown of Cleveland, Daniel re-located to the Windy City in 2016 and began focusing on Forest Management as a platform for more intimate, late-night experiments with reel-to-reel tape and computer software. His latest full-length 'After Dark' (American Dreams Records) is a 2LP of software reconstructions, based on turntable audio of Claude Debussy's La Mer.
