The music which David makes spreads far beyond conventional concerts and recording projects. He has produced theatrical scores and film soundtracks and performed at art installations and gallery openings; created audio / visual backdrops for hip hop dance projects and worked closely with writers and poets, even performed an original ‘spoken word football drone opera’ at the Linbury Theatre of Covent Garden’s Royal Opera House. Recent work includes sound for an installation by artist Lindsay Seers at The Hayward Gallery and a number of collaborations with award-winning, Cannes nominated director, Keith Allott.
