A long time resident of New Jersey, David Beardsley is one of the New York area's foremost microtonal guitarists. Meditative and mesmerizing, his playing is steeped in Indian music and blues as much as it is the late 20th century minimalist tradition. Playing microtonal Just Intonation guitar and steel guitar, David creates droning ambient soundscapes.
He started piano at seven, guitar as a teenager and started composing seriously in his thirties. Along the way, he developed a strong interest in the tuning system known as just intonation - tuning by whole number ratios from the naturally occurring harmonic series.
