David Arango-Valencia
David began his music career as a keyboard player in various types of projects, including: pop, electronic, and industrial, while possessing a background in classical piano. After his first experiences, he became interested in sound design and the ability to use sound in order to create, as well as explore, a unique language within music.
He exploited his first ideas through various sound design projects, which included sound field recordings for documentaries and short films. It wasn’t until college, when he attended Cegep de St-Laurent, under the direction of electroacoustic composers: Michel Tétreault and Pierre Marc Beaudoin that he really discovered a new, in depth way of expressing himself.
Today, David continues to explore the boundaries of electroacoustic music at Université de Montreal under the direction of Martin Bédard and in 2011, was awarded second place at the JTTP competition within the Canadian electroacoustic community for his piece entitled: “Canción de Otraparte”.
