Daryl Jamieson er fæddur í Halifax, Nova Scotia og býr í Zushi og Fukuoka í Japan. Tónlist hans sækir annars vegar í "New York-skólann" og ameríska tilraunatónlist en hins vegar japanska tónlist, einkum úr No leikhúsi. Tónlist hans er oft látlaus en myndræn en mörg verka hans skoða sambandið við minningar um ákveðna staði.
Eftir nám í Guildhall sótti hann einkatíma hjá Jo Kondo í Tokyo en síðar átti hann eftir að þýða bók Kondo's "homo audiens".

In 2018, he received the Toshi Ichiyanagi Contemporary Prize for the third of his Vanitas trilogy of music theatre pieces. Jamieson's music, written for both western classical and Japanese traditional instruments, is influenced by his study of Nō theatre and Japanese philosophy. It has been performed across Europe, Japan, and North America by many soloists and ensembles.
In addition to composing, he also co-founded the intercultural music theatre company 'atelier jaku', and is active as a researcher, writing on Japanese aesthetics, and contemporary music and spirituality. He has also written music criticism for TEMPO (UK) and Nutida Musik (Sweden), and was the English translator of Jo Kondo's book homo audiens (MusikTexte, 2022).
