David Dvorin received a B.A. in Music Composition from the University of California,
Los Angeles, and a M.F.A. in Music Composition from the California Institute of the Arts, where he studied with Morton Subotnik, Stephen L. Mosko, and Wadada Leo Smith.

While attending both schools, he worked professionally as a film, CD-ROM and television composer, and was nominated for an Emmy Award in the category of Outstanding Achievement in a Craft: Music Composition, as an undergraduate.

David has had many premieres of concert works of varied instrumentation, ranging from solo guitar to full orchestra. While continuing to do occasional score work, he currently is active as a composer/ performer/ improviser. He has performed at music festivals and new music venues across California, including the Northern California Experimental Music Festival, Carmel Performing Arts Festival, East Bay Creative Music Festival, and the Big Sur Experimental Music Festival.

He spends much of his time exploring and recording compositional
ideas in his studio in the Sierra Nevada foothills of California, and is a music professor at Sierra College.

With(in) Communicado
   David Dvorin (bowed psaltery, guitars, banjo,
                            electronics)

"With(In) Communicado represents three years worth of work composing, performing, and recording (a labor of love!). The project of producing the recording has been a highly personal experience. All pieces are original compositions and produced entirely by my own means; all instruments are played and recorded by myself at my personal digital recording studio. This afforded me the luxury of spending ample time in both the conception and realization of the music, permitting true experimentation to take place. Often times, the method of composition directly interfaced with the recording process itself.

Freedom of time has allowed each piece to organically grow with results that can only be achieved without the time pressures of a professional recording studio (one piece, Calendar, uses time as a compositional process in itself, taking thirty calendar days to complete the form)." -- David Dvorin

"The CD really works as one flowing whole. I'm enjoying it more with each listening. This is rare. Bravo on a rigorous and thoughtful work." -- Mark Dresser
