Composer-Performer-Sound Shifter
Sonic artist David Gamper moves freely among the worlds of composition, improvisation, and electronic instrument design and construction. He believes electronic sound processing technologies constitute an extension of the acoustic musical instrument. Unlike more single-minded proponents of musical technology, Gamper's music is a marriage of traditional instrumental performance with the sound transformations introduced by new and emerging technologies. He has named his performance technology "The Sound Shifter" and with it he captures the live sounds of his instruments (piano, winds, and others) and electronically shifts them into other musical realms.
Driven by his interest in creating performer controlled sound processing environments for improvising acoustic musicians, he developed a major redesign of the Expanded Instrument System (EIS) for the Pauline Oliveros Foundation. He has designed variations of the EIS for teaching, demonstration, recording, and for use by guest musicians in performances with Deep Listening Band (with Pauline Oliveros and Stuart Dempster) of which he has been a member since 1990. |
