This album has been years in the making. While there have been a good few successful EP releases over the last few years from me, putting a complete album together has been a different story.
I didn’t want to just throw 10 songs together and call it an album, I wanted to make it a cohesive, auditory journey. After what maybe seems too long, I have finally managed to achieve that goal, the end result is my first album ‘Fabric of Life’.

Sincere thanks to everyone that contributed to the kickstarter project that made the release of this album possible:

Art, Matt, Ken, Charlie, Nesha, Max, Sarah, Andy, Tina, Kristen, Darren, Raja, Nico, Barbara, Timothy, Aaron, Gemini, Matt, Joshua, LaNae, Peter, C Merry, Mikosuave, Kieron, Devin, Pyrolator, Visinin, Pascal, Niklas, Halcyon, Andrew, Griffin Crafts, Mr. Coco, Aaron, Blacksunshine, Kendra, Shone, Georgette, and everyone else that was kind enough to believe in, and support the project.

You’re all amazing! Thank you so very much.

David.

David began Djing at the age of 18, playing local events and clubs whenever the opportunity arose, often for free, solely for the enjoyment and satisfaction it gave him.

In the late 90’s while attending university in Manchester, David co formed and ran a successful club night for 3 years, playing to a loyal, continuously growing crowd every fortnight. Success in this arena lead to David securing many bookings at local clubs and events around the North West of England. Through his love for Djing, David felt an increasing desire to create his own music, and explore the soundscapes that were building up in his mind.

The day that profoundly changed David’s life – a friend took him into the University music studio, briefly showed him how to turn the keyboards and equipment on, gave a ten minute lesson in the music production software on the computer, and left the room. 6 hours flew by, completely hooked, he had found the path he had been searching for since he was a child. Ever since, every penny he shouldn’t have spent, every spare moment he has, goes on letting emotions flow through sound.

Through the last 10 years David has been busy spending all his time exploring all the musical avenues that intrigue him, as well as concentrating on his own tracks, he has worked on numerous remixes, written, scored, and performed many contemporary theatre underscores and soundtracks, music for film and TV, hair shows, and various websites.

David’s records and releases under the Auditory Canvas alias and David Leeson alias on Summer Rain Recordings, the label that David founded to help artists get what they deserve, and also give something back via charity donations. David donates 25% of all royalties received from the sales of his EPs to the charity NextAid, Summer Rain Recordings also donate 25% of all profits from the EPs.
