Greg Davis is an American electronic musician who has recorded albums drawing from a wide variety of sources, including guitar, field recording, various world / ethnic / traditional instruments, percussion, and voice, all delicately processed through digital manipulation. After years of experience in hip-hop groups, jazz combos, free improvisation, and experimental composition, Greg moved toward the world of computer-based music in 1997. At Depaul University in Chicago, Greg studied classical & jazz guitar alongside composition and jazz studies. In 1997, he started his own label, Autumn Records, to release his own music and the music of others. Greg moved to Boston in 1999 to pursue a master's degree in composition (which he received in June 2001) while independently immersing himself in the study of electronic music.
Greg left the city of Chicago for Burlington, Vermont in December 2004, where he has been organizing experimental and creative music events.
Greg has played live shows around the world with Hrvatski / Keith Fullerton Whitman, The Flying Lutenbachers, Blectum From Blechdom, Loscil, Animal Collective, Ratatat, Jan Jelinek, Sebastien Roux, Leafcutter John, Colleen, Avey Tare & Kria Brekkan, No-Neck Blues Band, The Books, Beach House, Mountains, Bird Show, Fog, Viking Moses, Ariel Pink, Boombip, and many more.
Greg has released albums on labels such as Grounded, Ache, Carpark Records, Lichen as well on his own Autumn Records.
