New project coming soon...

"Vagabondage musical"

...a fusion of painting and music with french digital artist Cyrille Pain.

Years ago The Scotsman newspaper described David Allison's playing as "painting with sound".

Now a show that pulls it all together. This video tells you how it all came about...

 

 

 

This engrossing fusion of art and music draws on David's years of experience working with video and film in shows like "The Island Tapes", "The St Kilda Tapes" and "Infinite Scotland", as well as live soundtracks to silent films such as "Nosferatu", "Rob Roy" and "The Last of the Mohicans".

 

For Cyrille's part, Art School in Aix en Provence led to a career designing sets for opera and theatre productions, as well as innovative permanent and temporary museum spaces across France, all the while keeping active as a painter.

 

Advances in technology in terms of digital tablets for "painting" and layering images plus musical loopers and processors for creating layers of sound now make it possible for these two worlds to come together.
