David Behrman

David Behrman has been active as a composer and artist since the 1960s. Over the years he has made sound and multimedia installations for gallery spaces as well as musical compositions for performance in concerts. Most of his pieces feature flexible structures and the use of technology in personal ways; the compositions usually rely on interactive real-time relationships with imaginative performers.

David Behrman & Ben Vida will perform at the Clocktower Gallery in a double bill with Lucky Dragons on Tuesday, Dec. 18 at 6pm. RSVP to events@artonair.org.

Unforeseen Events, Refractive Light, My Dear Siegfried... and Quick Silver are among Behrman's works for soloists and small ensembles. Recordings of his works are published by Lovely Music, XI, Alga Marghen and Classic Masters. XI has also released a double CD set entitled "My Dear Siegfried."
