David Alan Smith is a composer of original ambient and new age music (for the lack of a better genre...some of the music is not really relaxing). David uses both acoustic and electronic means to create timbres that are highly unusual.
Why this name?
I was born with this name!
Do you play live?
Not often. Thinking of the possibility of creating some live shows involving lights and special environments...a total sensory experiment. Who knows?
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Wow! Being able to share your music for the entire world! Now that's great.

Yes.
