Dave is a musician, artist and researcher. Having graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in 2005 with a degree in Jazz Performance, he continues working as an improvising saxophonist, clarinettist and educator whilst nurturing his passion for other modes of creative expression and artistic research.
His current research and making practise explores the use of found and sourced materials to create DIY sound making, capturing and listening devices that pickup electromagnetic energy for spatialised listening experiences. Combining embodied listening with a walking and psychogeography practise, the work explores intuitions and speculations linking consciousness with matter and ‘magnetoreception'.
Through the unconventional use of current technologies and modes of digital storytelling such as 360 video for communicating this work, he is able to combine his varied interests in composition, music and sound production, visual representation and geometry.
