"Captivating, original compositions ... alternate between eerie and weird plucked string compositions to exquisite, lyrically-lovely, soothing string quartets ... Tone poems that grip our souls with empathy." — Rosalind Lacey, DC Theatre Scene, describing original score for Spooky Action Theater production of "The Man Who," based on writings of Oliver Sacks David has been musician-in-residence at Dance Exchange since 2011. He also joins leading modern dance musicians Tigger Benford, Jesse Manno, and Peter Jones on Tigger's 2014 release, "Vessel of Gratitude."
