David Durst
Composer
Pianist/Keyboardist
Durst studied Music Theory and Composition and Computer Science, and is still recovering from both, thank you.
Since then it's been a series of full-time jobs, bands, arranging, composing, music directing and the like. Unable to quit either field entirely, he has concluded that he cannot be stopped.
You can hear Durst's work with Poor But Sexy and on recordings by The Gena Rowlands Band, Rose, Maritime, My Friend Autumn, Travis Morrisson, The Nitrate Hymnal, Troubled Hubble, Fast Eddie Music Conspiracy (defunct), Likeness To Lily (if you can find old ones), and other underground things you've never heard of, but most of which is available on iTunes (plug plug plug). [Secretly, he'll play on anything if you give him cookies.]
Most recently (sort of), he composed a piece for string quartet that he calls "not too shabby for a piece that took me over ten years" and a re-interpretation of Copland's "Appalachian Spring" (to accompany a modern dance re-interpretation of Martha Graham's ballet for the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage in Washington DC).
He continues to threaten to write for ASM. ASM continues to not believe him.
