vocal, instrumental, and electronic music that seeks to cut, reflect, connect, and heal. He engages with contemporary chamber music, opera, improvisation, rock, hip-hop, and more. David’s music has been performed by the Talea Ensemble, the JACK quartet, Wet Ink Ensemble, and many others. He is pursuing a doctorate in composition at the Peabody Conservatory, working with Alyssa Weinberg, Felipe Lara, Oscar Bettison, Joel Puckett, Jessica Hunt, Tony Arnold, and Wendel Patrick as a composer, teacher, singer, and producer. He is a co-director of Fast Forward Austin, a new music non-profit. David performs as a classical singer, electric guitarist, electronic musician, and multi-instrumentalist composer-performer, having jammed original funk-rock at Antone’s in Austin, sung in choral premiers at Auditorium Theater in Chicago, and free improvised on his home-made pedal stool at the Red Room in Baltimore, to name a few. From complex modernist mayhem to soothing laptop noise, interdisciplinary dreamlands to riff-heavy hip-hop, from games and graphically redacted grooves to microtonal madness, David lives in sound, and he’s not afraid to try something wild.
