Cello / Composition

David’s cello style builds and expands upon his classical training (ABRSM Grade 8) with a fusion of song-writing, improvisation and electronic experimentation. For a number of years his solo work has incorporated the use of looping and live effects processing. As well as solo work he has forged ongoing collaborative relationships with acclaimed post-rock bands ‘Maybeshewill’ and ‘Her Name Is Calla’, contemporary classical composer Julian Broadhurst, turntablist / producer James Kelly, and Polish electronica / glitch artist Pleq.
