Forest Management is the solo guise of Chicago based composer John Daniel. Active since 2011, Forest Management has released four LPs and a number of cassette and CDRs via various 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, in 2016 Daniel relocated to the Windy City, where he began focusing on Forest Management as a platform for experiments with reel-to-reel tape and computer software. His latest album After Dark is comprised of software reconstructions, based on turntable audio takes of Claude Debussy's La Mer.
