Raised in Bozeman, MT and educated in Electrical Engineering at the University of Idaho, David became somewhat unhinged after a drug trip his Junior year of college. He has written expository prose throughout adulthood, but he has always nurtured an "artistic seed." Recently, circumstances prompted him to the realization that it was time to "get something done."
We in the Western Christian tradition have always wrestled, somewhat immaturely, with a sharp dichotomy between Good and Evil, the Damned and the Saved, and have been, at best, intolerant and suspicious of other religious traditions. My produced music seeks to redress some of these concerns, within the framework of Christian thought.
Buddha left the royal palace to grapple with the sickness of the human mind, retiring to the forest for the work of meditation, contemplation, introspection, and reflection. Today, there are no forests full of Star-fruit like the Buddha had, but by the Grace of the taxpayer, schizophrenics and other mentally-ill people who grapple intensely with the root causative seeds of our society-wide malaise, can, if fortunate enough to find a good therapist or teacher, be guided into assuming a Shamanistic/Bodhisattvic role for the rest of society, however imperfectly fulfilled.
Perhaps now more than ever, we are poised to move beyond 'Us' vs 'Them' thinking in spirituality, and realize that the real war to be 'fought' appears to involve a non-combative unification of opposites, both within the Self and the World, where relative good and evil cautiously collaborate (through mutual forgiveness) in finding "the Good, the True, and the Beautiful."
These efforts honor the work Mom and Dad, therapists, teachers, family and friends have put in me, and I can only pay it back by offering it to others "For a Song," as my they did with me. I also offer thanks to my Muses, who could have, and perhaps should have, rejected me out of hand... but who kindly found space for me in their Hearts.
About the style of music he has been collaborating in, David says, "Soulful music merely provides a mirror in which the soul of the listener can be 'seen,' both the anguish, and the Love of the Lord Within, by whatever name (He/She) is given."
