Life Toward Twilight is a dark ambient, post-industrial project based in the Detroit area in Michigan. It was established in 1999 as a solo project by Daniel Tuttle. Daniel spent 1994 through 2000 working with Shawn Kent on a very heavy industrial project titled Ogun's Will, based out of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Ogun's Will performed live occasionally, and featured a number of differnt live performers, which always centered on Daniel and Shawn's compositions. In 1999, Daniel felt a need to explore much softer and minimal composition that heavily contrasted the thick beat driven material of Ogun's Will. A few tracks were written that eventually were released as "Into Words I Have Fallen". This disc was largely ambient and noise, with sparse neoclassical elements thrown in. Approximately fifty copies of this disc made it into circulation. In late 2000, Daniel relocated to the Detroit area in Michigan. In 2001, work on the album that would be titled "Catayo" began. A demo of this album was forwarded to Elayne Safir, who wrote a beautiful story to go along with the music. The album was released with the story, and they worked well together. Life Toward Twilight received many great reviews for this work, and many more copies of this were sold than the previous effort. In 2002, Daniel began to work with Brent Nicholas. Recording sessions took place over the next couple of years. This collaboration with Brent lead to a few Life Toward Twilight live performances. Between 2001 and 2004, Life Toward Twilight has performed alongside many fantastic artists, including Phallus Uber Alles, Delien, Xanopticon, Iszoloscope, Chiasm, Black Sand Desert, Things Outside The Skin, Larvae, CDatakill, and many others. In 2004, Life Toward Twilight compiled a set of new recordings into an album titled "A Subtle Dawn". This album featured synth work by Brent Nicholas and the vocal talents of Elyse Reardon. At this time, Daniel's fiance, Laura Purdy, became sick, and was diagnosed with cancer. Daniel took the next year away from music to take care of her. In early 2005, Laura passed away from complications related to the disease. Later in 2005, Daniel since "A Subtle Dawn" didn't make it into wide circulation, he decided to recompile it into a new album featuring some new tracks, and some older tracks. The end product became, "We Waited For A Subtle Dawn". The decision was made to put the whole album online as free a download to help rejuvinate interest in the project, after a such a long period of inactivity.
