City of Dawn

**City of Dawn** is the ambient music project of Texas-based composer and sound artist Damien Duque. Known for crafting serene, textural soundscapes, Duque blends ethereal guitar loops, drifting synths, and field recordings to create immersive environments that feel both introspective and expansive. His work often reflects themes of emotional healing and quiet reflection, evident in releases like *Quiet Heartbeats, Sharing Silence, Unspoken Sorrow’s Echo* and *In the Hush of Mosaic Spaces*.

City of Dawn thrives on collaboration and live experimentation, with performances such as *Live at Kreative Grounds Café* and *Harmony in Chaos (Live from Run Pony Run)* showcasing his ability to translate studio delicacy into shared, meditative experiences. Whether remixing tracks like *Cycle* or exploring minimalist motifs in *Threads* and *Empty Rooms*, Duque’s music remains a comforting oasis in the ambient realm, inviting listeners to slow down and breathe.
