Every Day Is the Same Day

Every Day Is the Same Day is a quirky and strangely heartwarming set of songs about clinical depression scored for voice, violin, digital looping, and drum machines, performed by Corey Dargel and Cornelius Dufallo.  Dargel and Dufallo have performed various incarnations of Every Day Is the Same Day in New York City at Joe’s Pub, The Stone, and BAM Café.

“spare, earnest, and–dare we say it–charming songs about depression” -Time Out New York

“Corey Dargel’s… involved, delicately refined instrumental writing…is offset by his arch, cabaret-tinged vocal style and the quirkiness of his texts…and, typically, he ma[kes] the grisly seem oddly charming.” Allan Kozinn, New York Times

“Dargel’s fierce ruminations on death are accompanied by the ecstatic violin loops of Cornelius Dufallo, a truly wonderful eight minutes of music. It’s Kafka Fragments for the SoHo crowd.” -Will Robin, Seated Ovation

“a bite-sized work of art that will get lodged in your brain for the next year” -Daniel Stephen Johnson

Every Day Is the Same Day is approximately 27 minutes in length.  It can be paired with Cornelius Dufallo’s Dream Streets for an evening-length concert, or it can be paired with any of Corey Dargel’s other projects.

Cornelius Dufallo (composer/violinist) is an innovator at the forefront of the American contemporary music scene.  The New York Times praises his “alluring” performances and “imaginative” compositions.  Dufallo plays acoustic and electric violin and moves seamlessly from classical to pop and jazz styles.  His debut solo album, Dream Streets, is a collection of his own compositions for violin.  Time Out New York calls it “a beautiful, evocative disc of electroacoustic soundscapes.”  Dufallo directs the ensemble Ne(x)tworks and performs with the string quartet ETHEL.  He has toured throughout the US, Europe, Asia, and Australia, and recorded for Mode, Tzadik, Cantaloupe and Innova.
