Rock / Ambient and Film Music / Pop - Metal - Techno - Christian - and anything else.
I am an artist. I paint images with sound. I use many colors and mediums to paint these soundscapes. Every idea was a visual image in my head, a picture, a journey. I am exibiting these "pictures" in the gallery for all to see and hear.

HISTORY: David traded a copy of a Question Mark and The Mysterians album to a high school friend for a guitar and an amp. Guitar instructors of the day did not teach rock guitar since “Rock was not real music” and his parents discouraged him by saying, “You can’t make a living playing music”. So he gave up musical aspirations but wrote lyrics for the music in his head. David says, “After high school I had no idea what I wanted to be or do in life. Vietnam was raging and all I could see in my future was getting drafted, being sent to Nam and coming home in a body bag.” Later, along with the responsibilities of family and working in a family business, David would on occasion perform original compositions in church. David also studied the art of synthesis and sound development, from mimicking real instruments to the other worldly sounds analog synths were known for. Eventually, when the modern digital workstations came of age, he sequenced accompaniment tracks for his songs and along with guitar, recorded these ideas to cassette.
NOW: Now armed with the up to date technology of audio processing and virtual instruments and several years of writing and recording, David has set out to "hang" the "images" he has "painted" in the gallery for all to "see" and hear. David says, “I hope that everyone will find something, at least one thing, that is pleasing to ‘look at’,that touches someone in a possitive way.” David currently has material finished or near completion for 8 albums with music ranging from Pop, Rock, Metal, Film, Techno, Ambient and points in between. Plans (at this time) are for 2-Pop/Rock, 2-Metal, 2-Film/Instrumental, 1-Praise/Worship/Reflection, and 1-Retro remix of older material.
