NEW: 2008 - picnic - 7 tracks, 47:27

blending abstract electronics, acoustic and electric guitars, piano and a bit of jazz.

while not without the usual kaleidoscopic avant-garde edge, 'picnic' is more laid-back and ambient

than other dadala albums, suitable for a lazy sunday morning, an afternoon nap or a late night mindscape.
