Remember Me

An Old Song

Psychic Patient

Seven Places Of Stillness

An early 1980's dark-ish indie rock track

Two Messages

A remix of David Bowie's Space Oddity. Moss Garden is an instrumental by Bowie and Eno from Bowie's 'Heroes' album and my remix uses the koto part of that track as its starting point. The clustery orchestral music at the end is inspired by Ligeti whose music was used extensively in Kubrick's 2001 film which, in turn, was a big influence on Bowie when writing Space Oddity.

An extract from the remix of mine and David Lancaster's piece 'Double vestiges'. This remix is for Festival8 where it will be on continuous play in the woodland area throughout the Festival. For more information about the Festival, please see www.festival8.co.uk

David Power was born in London in 1962 but spent most of his childhood in York. His initial interest was rock music but the electronic instrumentals on David Bowie's 'Berlin' albums led him to become interested in other types of music and eventually he went to study composition with Richard Steinitz, Steve Ingham and Roger Marsh.

His Three Chamber Pieces was premiered at the 1986 Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival and since then his work has been performed throughout the UK and, more recently in Europe and the USA. As well as concert performances, his music has also been used in short film soundtracks and art gallery installations. 

Over the years he has received a number of commissions and had his work broadcast on BBC Radio 3 plus a number of regional stations. In 2009 his Eight Miniatures appeared on the Grimsby St Hughs Festival 2009 Highlights CD. In 2012 his 'Eight Evening Songs' appeared on the acclaimed  the 'Songs Now' CD on the Meridian label

His latest project is Vestiges of Spirituality, a multi-media project with artist Linda Ingham, film-maker Annabel McCourt and composer David Lancaster. Vestiges is designed for installation in churches and is currently undergoing a short, arts council funded tour in the North of England. Form more information about Vestiges and a short film of its launch night, please visit www.vestigesofspirituality.com
