Dave Dexter is a composer, orchestrator and multi-instrumentalist, specialising in classical, choral and orchestral writing for live players.

His string quartet piece "St Clement's Isle" was recently played on Classic FM on Jessica Curry's "High Score" show, and his works "Descendentem Sicut Columbam" and "Leaving the House" on BBC Radio York & 3 respectively. His choral setting of "I Sing Of A Maiden" was chosen for recording by ORA Singers and Suzi Digby in 2019 as part of their Christmas Gift scheme.

It's always risky to find an epoch one feels best represents music as a whole and state "This. This is what I want to do", but Dave certainly prefers the more traditional approach to scoring and composing. He'll work with samples if he has to, but the best moments come from hearing great musicians planting a glorious flag in the earth of a piece and making it their own. His music ranges from the beautiful and intimate, the achingly sad, the whimsical and the thunderously exciting; if not watched like a hawk he'll probably attempt to combine all four.

Dave is writing in the third person but is totally a cool guy and not arrogant in the slightest.
