David Kristian

Profile:
David Kristian has been at the forefront of electronic music and electronic music technology for over 20 years, composing everything from Experimental music to IDM, Electro and Synthpop.

While this range of styles can often be alienating for some, David has managed to infuse each of his works with a signature sound, which is remarkable, considering the variety and number of synthesizers he has used over the span of his career.

With over a dozen albums and countless 12"s and compilation appearances, David's discography continues to grow on a monthly basis. The list of visionary labels who have made David's music available worldwide include Alien8 Recordings, Creme Organization, Suction Records, Worm Interface, Lo Recordings, and Wikkid Records.

David Kristian's career came out of the necessity to provide music and sound design for the many short films and videos he directed as a teen, so it's only natural that he has come full circle, providing music and sound design for feature film and television projects.

David's soundscapes and soundtracks have graced everything from Science-Fiction and Horror to promotional spots for an X-Rated Cable channel. His list of credits include Karim Hussain's Ascension and The City Without Windows, Mitch Davis' Divided Into Zero, and Douglas Buck's Prologue from Family Portaits: A Trilogy of America.

Never satisfied with the Status Quo, David Kristian doesn't only reinvent and rethink electronic music, he reinvents himself. David's latest alter egos are Gentle Bakemono; a moniker he uses for his Electro-Disco project, and Francesco Clemente; an alias used for ersatz Giallo soundtracks he releases on Creme Organization.
