David Abravanel
David Abravanel writes physically from Brooklyn, NY, based metaphysically in his own conception of the Dreamtime, and is cosmically linked to his city of origin, Portland, OR. A fan and student of electronic, experimental, and minimalist musics - started as a boy with introductions to Erasure (from his sister), Frank Zappa and Claude Debussy (from his parents) - David likes to loosely define "music" as any manipulation of sound, intentional or unintentional. What differentiates music from cacophony? Probably nothing, says David, except for perhaps artistic intent. Sometimes, David thinks a little too hard about aesthetic concepts. In another life, David tries his hand at music, both as a DJ and with original, mostly electronic, compositions. He is a dedicated devotee to the SuperCollider music coding environment.
