David Kristian

David Kristian (born 1967) is a Canadian musician and film score composer and sound designer. He has been involved in audio for media since the early 1980s, when he first started work as an animation and experimental filmmaker at a New-Brunswick TV station. Upon relocating to Montreal, Kristian decided to abandon film-making in order to focus on a music career, first as a solo artist, then as the keyboardist and synthesist for the group Psyche. He left Psyche in late 1989 and concentrate on more Ambient and instrumental music. During the 1990s and 2000s, he released several albums on labels as diverse as Crème Organization, Minimal Rome, Ninja Tune, Lo Recordings, Schematic Records, Alien8 Recordings and Apegenine recordings. Kristian has produced music under aliases, including Gentle Bakemono, Francesco Clemente, and Macadam Mambo with Andrea Noce. David Kristian is currently working as a video game sound designer and composer. For his personal projects, he composes solely with modular synthesis.
