Over the months, D’Arcy had time never before possible to revisit an archive of more than 130 Digital Audio Tapes spanning some of more than 1000 concerts over 30 years of public performance. Extracts of these are being uploaded onto his YouTube channel as a living archive. Artists, painters and writers are often presented in retrospectives, so here a living one of a musician in progress.
More than 200 recordings are uploaded on this channel. In addition to an unparalleled diversity of repertoire, he also writes informative descriptions to elucidate the music to listeners as well as thoughts of his personal relationship to each piece.
Like all live performances, they are honest and direct – and very different to commercial recordings: LIVE music in a different format.
There are numerous videos of D'Arcy on YouTube by other promoters.

“ I must tell you I take terrible risks. Because my playing is very clear, when I make a mistake you hear it. If you want me to play only the notes without any specific dynamics, I will never make one mistake. Never be afraid to dare."
