Kaj Duncan David is a composer and performer of electronic music living in Berlin. His varied compositional practice is rooted in computer music production techniques. Many of his scored pieces are minimalist explorations of gestalt relations between sound and light in concert settings, involving musical interconnection between instrumental performance and light/video. In larger theatre/music projects he explores themes at the meeting point between speculative philosophies and science fiction. He also makes music and designs sound for dance performances. Sometimes elements from all these undertakings end up in an album like All Culture Is Dissolving.
