Celer is the sound, visual, literary, and artistic endeavor of the husband and wife duo of Will Long and Danielle Baquet-Long. Danielle was a teacher of special education and music therapy, a seasoned and published writer of poetry and prose, a painter, multi-instrumentalist, and vocalist, also recording as Chubby Wolf. She had an extensive background in Gender Studies, Education, Basque History, Photography, and Tibetan Studies, as well as having lived in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and the United States. She passed away on July 8, 2009 of heart failure.
Will is a published writer of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, having studied English, History, Creative Writing, Philosophy, and Literature, with a basic background in music. Will and Dani met each other in 2001, and remained close friends until 2006, when they became a couple. At this time they also began Celer, which had been up until this time a constant exchange of letters, music, and love. They were married in March of 2007.
In Will and Dani’s time together, they produced numerous custom, handmade self-releases, sound for installations and art exhibitions, as well as creating works for independent labels in North America, Japan, and Europe. Their intent was producing works that reflect the sincere nature and importance of love, the fragility of life, and the importance of togetherness, through a relative and absolute symposium of expression.
In Loving Memory of Dani, for always.

You two look so young. Thanks for giving me fuel to inspire me to put keep putting time and patience into my art ♥ RIP ♥ Health is fucked in Australia too, there's massive waiting lists for everything. Unfortunately it's business, CEOs and their coffers that is the greater priority for the gov then the vast majority who fill them.

Celer's shout down there makes me so, so sad. I am hoping we fix our health care system soon so we don't lose amazing people when they do not have to die.

Celer: As a physician in public health for over 20 years, I agree with you. Healthcare in the US stinks and access is very poor. Unfortunately the tea partying Palin-drones will stand by the good ol' insurance company agenda and accuse anyone in favor of reform of being a communist. Some things about the US suck.

Celer has been one of my favorite ambient groups for sometime. As are many people, I am saddened that Dani has left us. http://zzzone.net

Maybe if healthcare were available to everyone in the United States, regardless of a person's job, financial status, or health, this wouldn't have happened to Dani, and would have been found earlier. It's something to think about..

I admit I was hesitating and unpropitious. sorry for all this going offtopic and futile insult. people let 8 year old die because they ignored her breathing conditions and not being aware where flu currently moving or actually care about disease at all. in a very small civilized country like this. if one is not avoiding socializing, information, health care like mask for starters then it's you who to blame for.

kunggi, you're ignorance and blatant disregard for the feelings of others makes me sick. And where did you hear she died of swine flu? She died of heart failure, just as her father did. "With great sadness I have to announce to you, our friends, that Dani passed away yesterday, July 8. On Tuesday morning I woke to find her unconscious, and not breathing. The medics were called, and she was revived, but fell directly into a coma and didn’t wake up. She passed away yesterday at 3pm, with her family by her. All that is known to say why is that her heart stopped, for no foreseeable reason. The only relation is that her father died in the same way, of a cardiac arrest at the age of 29. She was 26."
