david fenech has been an active composer, performer, and improviser for over ten years in france. his works include acoustic, electronic, tape, and digital media, including sound installations and film scores. born in july 1969 (at the same time men were walking on the moon), david had a guitar for his 10th birthday and never ceased making music since then.

after creating the musical collective peu importe in grenoble in 1991 (free improvisation and songs – many gigs in europe) his music has shifted to more personnal and strange areas, mainly using voice as an instrument. he released his first solo cd called grand huit, in 2000, on the now defunct tout l’univers label. the record is like a long movie for the ears, with 8 different clips. he then released a lp in duet with moka, called les vaches (cows) on romulus and remus.

he released his second solo cd called polochon battle, late 2007, on the inpolysons label. the record features many guests such as felix kubin, toog, klimperei, shugo tokumaru, etc. check his discography for complete details (filled under : solo albums, compilations, as part of a group or as a guest musician )
