Biography

David Minor's music capers in a territory all it's own; it's something of Vaudeville-Electro-Classical. His album "sparse" was released on Nonine Recordings of Berlin in 2009. And, it has been nominated for the German Record Critics Prize for new and extreme music!

He has successfully created a hybrid of sounds dwelling somewhere amid Cibelle and her delicate constructions, Charles Mingus' underground melodies, Gershwin's dramaturgy, while with a dash of an Avant-Gardish David Sylvian thrown in.. His vocal styles range between folkish narratives and a Buckley/Holiday love child.

The album "sparse" takes us through dark, gas lit vaudevillian theatres, darling garret's sullied by the sounds of cotton club swing; at times you will feel engulfed by smoky demented puppets lost, inebriated and meandering the eerie alleys of film noir.

David Minor was trained in New York and California as a classical dancer, musician, actor, and vocalist. He then travelled the world engaging in his many quixotic occupations. Within his music one hears how his theatrical background is distilled into his music. In his album "sparse" fragility sips carefully from the epoc, fusing classical elements merged with electronic structures, while underlined by jazz snippet's of flimnoirish instinct. Out of this comes a disarming and daringly bourgeoisie technique: fragments, using so called technical mistakes to construct rhythmical structures, creating a personal amalgam. His sound is varied and at times evokes similar emotions as Broadcast and The Focus Group.
