David Power
Born London 1962. His initial interest was rock music but the electronic instrumentals on David Bowie’s album Low prompted a change in direction. He studied composition with Richard Steinitz, Steve Ingham and Roger Marsh. His Three chamber Pieces was premiered at the 1986 Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival and, since then his work has been performed widely throughout the UK and, more recently, Europe and the USA. He has received many commissions – including from the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival - and his work has been broadcast on Radio 3 and various local radio stations. He has written music for short films and gallery installations as well as the concert hall. Future plans will see the inclusion of his Eight Evening Songs on a new CD of British songs set for release in 2012 and he is currently working on the soundtrack of Annabel McCourt's latest film, The Woman Who Lived by the Beach.
