biography

David is a composer based in Bath, UK. His work explores the characteristics of people, their relationships with others, and community. He is interested in relationships, community, and individuals: exploring these throughout his work. His compositions use  social interactions and are presented through everyday means such as postcards, greetings cards, and tabletop gaming. Previous work has focused on experiential text scores, exploring our relationships with the locations around us. His piece Words,  presented as a book, uses various forms and genres of literature to address portrayals of sex, sexuality and relationships within culture.

David studied with Stephen Baystead and Adam Swayne at the University of Chichester. In 2016 he studied with James Saunders and Matthew Sergeant at Bath Spa University, completing his MMus Composition with Distinction. Currently, David is working on his PhD in composition at Bath Spa University with James Saunders and artist Andrea Medjesi-Jones. His research explores interpersonal relationships in the composition process, using the artist-sitter relationship found in visual art as a lens to further this understanding.
