David Leikam: Dance Clippings Volume 1

We all know David as the Super-DJ who always helps out around KZSU, but it's also important to know that David is an accomplished musician, composer, and producer too. THis CD is not a formulaic electronica/dance CD. Instead it's a reflection of David's artistry and imagination. They're mostly short tracks but they range from sound collages to abstract ambient to industrial and techno. I especially liked #3,4, and 6.

1. Ambient tones punctuated by crashes of staticky beats.
2. Synth washes, panning left & right, with occasional clusters of noisy beats.
3. Soft & slow piano notes with washes of static & electronic effects.
4. Audio collage piece w/ car crashes & motor noises.
5. Grinding noisy guitars, heavy beats & distortions. Has a goth/industrial feel to it.
6. Abstract Techno - one could call it "IDM" but I think that doesn't do this track justice.
7. A slightly longer & different version of #1 - but somehow spookier
