BIOGRAPHY
“David’s music is the soundtrack to my soul.” – Zan Roberts
“THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE” is David Block’s principal project as a live electronic composer, multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and producer. Listeners experience a delicious symphonic blend of prismatic soundscapes and sultry beats.
David is constantly pushing the boundaries of live music. Playing, composing, and conducting his own electronic symphony live on stage, his performances are brimming and layered with human emotion, world exploration, and sacred sounds. Whether performing by himself, or with a live band, The Human Experience always delivers an emotionally charged show.
The Human Experience aims to cross cultural barriers through music. David has collaborated with artists all over the world including Rising Appalachia, Malte Marten, Ignacio Perez (Buena Vista Social Club), William Close (The Earth Harp), Random Rab, Elephant Revival and many others.
Each song is a sonic journey: interweaving psychedelic layers of melody and harmony with organic grooves and international vibes.
Composing and performing live with the audio/visual/dance projects Phadroid (Android Jones + Phaedra), Quixotic, Lucent Dossier, and Seraphim, David is expanding his sounds into the mixed media world. David has performed all over the globe, sharing the stage with renowned artists such as The Roots, Thievery Corporation, Bonobo, Tipper, Emancipator, The Polish Ambassador, and many more.
Over the last several years David has toured in the UK, Europe, Russia, Central America, Canada, and all over the United States at a variety of events including festivals including Burning Man, Boom, Coachella, Electric Forest, Wakarusa, Lightning in a Bottle, Sonic Bloom, Symbiosis, and Envision.
David's music has been featured on NBC primetime TV and is beginning to make its way into the world of cinema. David is consistently redefining himself as an artist, performer, and human being. Moving and traveling around the world, meeting people from all walks of life and realms of consciousness, he is continually learning, growing, and sharing inspiration with those around him.
“We don’t play music, music plays us.” – David Block
