David Coll is a San Francisco-based composer focusing primarily on small ensemble works. Through ongoing emphasis in notation, the visual, and technology, his works create situations that investigate the physical presence of performers onstage. Through this investigation, sounds, interaction, motion, all are considered as material, and the results vary between what might be considered wholly music, theatre, or some mix of the two.

| Brian Griffeath-Loeb At this point in my life, I’m spending most of my time working on or thinking about music. Composing is what I'd call my first love, but I also enjoy teaching, writing, organizing, and fundraising. I’m a sometimes painter, performance artist, and very occasional poet. I have a meditation practice that keeps me sane(ish). Backpacking in the Sierras with my uncle helps too. Recent obsessions: Morton Feldman, Neil Young, Dennis Hopper’s The Last Movie, Peter Greenaway shorts (thanks Poto!). | |
