".. his commitment to obscure technologies and new methodologies is laudable, and the sounds - whatever form they take - stand up." Louis Pattison - The Wire Magazine

Dave's experimental arts practice encompasses field recording, landscape-scale sound art, chaos/complexity, practice-based research, sound synthesis and electronic music. He performs, lectures, conducts workshops and creates art installations in Regional NSW and around the world. David also designs and builds sound synthesizers based on his theories of chaos/complexity science.

Throughout the 1990's David had an innovative role at one of the foremost UK R&D laboratory's in diverse areas such as Artificial Life, DSP, Chaos and Complex Systems, Spatial Audio [Ambisonics/3D sound], MIDI, Virtual Reality, Data Sonification/Visualisation and Linux internet systems. His numerous research publications include a 2006 PhD thesis Generative Music & Cellular Automata, which developed and applied fundamental new concepts from generative music practice to a key problem in complex systems theory. This has served as a foundation methodology for creative practice and complex systems research. His current work is aimed at tackling more key questions in complex systems from a creative practice perspective, drawing inspiration from natural and artificial complex systems. These key questions address the definition of randomness, structure and high level descriptions of information processing in complex systems.
David has worked with many diverse collaborators such as Aphex Twin, Brian Grainger/Milieu Music, Chris Watson, Doug Quin, Russell Haswell, Robin Fox, Oren Ambarchi, Sarah Last, Cat Hope, Garry Bradbury, William Barton, Alan Lamb, MIT Media Lab and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. In 2014 he independently published the legendary "SYROBONKERS!", the most technical and in-depth interview ever given by Aphex Twin.
