David enjoys a unique skill set, broad in scope and deep in accomplishments. He has a passion for bringing people together through the creative arts to experience more than they could by themselves. He has pioneered a compassion-focused and artist-centered leadership approach. Central to this approach, he features filtered listening as a sensory-awareness-driven method for communicating directly to the voice through the ear. His music's vast expressive qualities reflect the versatility of the human voice, exploring textural and timbral layering seamlessly integrated. His recordings reveal careful and inspired understanding of sensitive creative spaces. His writing blends poetic vision with academic clarity. Through games, sensory awareness focus, and an openness to everyone's contributions, he leads others into joyful, emotionally-connected, and meaningful experiences.
