Pupil of
Morton Feldman, David Shea (born
1965 in Springfield, Massachusetts) has been active in the New York
downtown new music scene from a very young age. He has been involved in
many projects of
John Zorn and has
performed with him in many places in Europe and USA. He has also worked in
close collaboration with
Marc Ribot, Jim Pugliese, Anthony Coleman, etc.
From 1986 to 1990, he worked as a club dj playing hip hop, house and jazz
at many clubs in New York, including Kilimanjaro, The Village Gate and The
Pyramid Club. David Shea works now as a composer for strings quartet and
sampler solo, and it is close to nothing known in music today.
