Alongside his more traditional compositions (most recently: “sans paroles dans sables mouvants“ for sextet (2007) and "AquAria" (on a concept by Claudia Herr) for underwater singing (2008)), Daske developed a form of three-dimensional notation (“foliants“).
In 2001 he founded the duo “Soundscrapers“ with the Berlin Philharmonic bassist Janne Saksala and in 2002, the duo “Die Klangschürfer“ (“The Sound Diggers”) with the vocal artist, Rainer Rudloff.
Daske has created countless Hörspiele and other works for radio (most recently: “no barking at any time” (2006)), sound installations (“backbord ein kolibri”), childrens’ Hörspiele, music for theater and film (most recently: “Lunik“ (2006/2007) and "Je voudrais être légère" (Dance theater, Marseille 2008/2009)).
Since 1989, together with Rainer Rubbert, he has been artistic director of the concert series "Unerhörte Musik" in Berlin.
