Hey, I'm Dave and welcome to my page. I live in the Camden County, NJ/Philadelphia area and have been performing, reading, and continually learning music for seven years. I'm interested in forming a band with people who have similar influences and goals. If interested, please contact me on my myspace page.

Composers - Erik Satie, Thomas, Newman, Igor Stravinsky, Tomas Dvorak, Brian Eno, George Gershwin, and anything with an amazing atmosphere.

I love/respect absolutely all music. The only exception is the emo, screamo, metalcore, and deathcore shit plus the watered down talentless crap broadcasted on MTV. I just can't stand anything unoriginal, sloppy, noisy, or immature. Conformity is the downfall of mankind, and it's ashame that it had to become of music.
