Independent composer and musician. Experimental/electronic hybrid.
I present my tenth full-length album, Red Sun, released August 1, 2025.
It is with a prevailing sense of hope that I address subjects and situations concerning us all.
With a worldly view, I look to the future where we all unite to work together to create a safer, healthier, and more peaceful world.
I truly believe, together we will find a way.
Here’s the first single from my album Red Sun, to be released in early 2025. It’s also available on streaming services.
“Too Far to Touch” was an outtake from It Is All an Illusion. I decided to make it available on bandcamp and streaming.
I released a solo guitar/vocal version of “You Found Yourself”, recorded live-in-studio as a single on Bandcamp and streaming.
I put together an album of two new songs and a few others I wrote words and sang to with the amazing Jürgen Martens from Westfront on acoustic guitar. It is free and I hope you will take it
I am putting the finishing touches on my album Find a Road In now.
Until it is ready I have just released a free download on Bandcamp with six tracks I produced for a two different sessions for Mark Whitby at Dandelion Radio in 2020 and 2021. The first three ended up on Orion Before Dawn in updated versions. The other will be included (in updated versions) on Find a Road In!
I chose the title Virgin State because you can hear the songs in their virgin state:
Orion Before Dawn was released September 21, 2020.
It is a holistic album. Orion Before Dawn incorporates more electronic sounds in the music than previous releases.
I hope my music makes people feel happy.
Three of the tracks from my November 2018 session for Mark Whitby on Dandelion Radio are now available for a free download on Bandcamp:
Back in late 2017, I contributed a track “He Lights Up” to the Winter Solstice compilation album from Vanguardista Records. For 2018, the compilation is being re-released with a bonus track and new artwork:
My track was reviewed briefly by Mark Barton at The Sunday Experience:
“Must admit, we here are quite adoring of Diane Marie Kloba’s slyly snaking ‘he lights up’ its fraying slacker-esque turning emitting a subtle sinister shadow to the proceedings that curiously hits something of a Television-esque grooving.”
Deep Heart was released July 6, 2018.
The seventh release from Diane Marie Kloba is Deep Heart. In some ways, Deep Heart departs from Diane’s recent earlier work: There was no overarching concept to the album. The lyrical subject matter takes a step away from her previous work: She introduces some enigmatic new characters and situations, and mostly avoids the subject of art itself and its creation.
While some arrangements are more stripped down with a hint of folk-blues, the title track is lush with synthesizers and layered guitar. It is Diane’s first time working with a new mix engineer, Andrew Diaz.
Also included are remastered versions of the Soundcloud hit “Thunder” (featuring Westfront), and “He Lights Up”, previously available only on the Vanguardista Records Winter Solstice compilation.
