DAVID CURINGTON
SOUND AND VISUAL ARTIST
ABOUT
David is a sound and visual artist based in Hadfield, UK with interests in density, texture, noise, waste, commercialism, collage, the everyday, the absurd and their manifestations in the internet age.
He is the founder of Square Ears records and, to date, his music has been released on both his own label, Difficult Art and Music, Anticipating Nowhere, Hard Return, Steep Gloss, Human Geography Recordings, Eustress Tapes and Wormhole World and aired on Freeness on BBC Radio 3.
David runs the fortnightly radio show Ad Absurdum which airs on CAMP radio every other Wednesday and makes aural paste from targeted adverts.
As an improviser, he is interested in reconceptualising the oboe as a noise instrument and has performed both at Square Ears label nights and the Curious Ear series in Manchester.
David holds a PhD in composition from the Royal Northern College of Music and is a former winner of the RPS Composition Prize.
