David Reaston is a Sydney based guitarist who composes and improvises 21st Century Art Music. The cut and splice, intellectual internal reference, and sonic blasts of his "10 Guitar Project" (www.myspace.com/10guitarproject), combined with freebased improvisation have confirmed him as an audacious innovator. As well as pointed abstraction, Dave is known for his symmetrical handshakes and a beautiful take on traditional standards, particularly his use of reharmonisation and polyphony. David owns a Masters of Music (Composition) from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, and a Bachelor of Jazz Studies from the Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music.------------------------------------;-)---------------:-0---------------;-p----------------------------:*0------------------%-)-----------------i-)-----------------
"The madman/prophet making it happen was David Reaston, who assembled the largest cast of notable Sydney guitarists ever seen in one place at one time" – John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald 2008.
