Longwalkshortdock esentially started the first time Dave King heard gritty electronic music in early eightys videogames. Strongly influenced by these sounds and melodys, Dave started recording and looping segments as a child. He also got a taste for sampling and recording; Taping segments of his piano practice to fool his parents into thinking he was practicing in the other room. Dave then noticed he was writting his profile in the third person......... After briefly considering the pretentious implications of doing this he decided to continue on with it. After the early years of video game loops, longwalkshortdock went through many years of musical genre infidelity and learned to play many instruments in many styles. After collecting gear, ideas, and collaborators, Dave decided to move from his home town of Calgary to Vancouver to take a degree in sound production and recording. Dave has worked in the studio and played live shows with a host of talented artists such as : Phil Western, Kris Benoit, Josh Hall, Sounds Good on Paper, Miopus, Grahman Blacksmith, Eric Staal, Stephan Fisher, and Chris Carr to name a few. Since then longwalkshortdock has been putting together a large body of work both for album release and for live use in the hopes of creating a positive ear related experience for "the people". Dave then decided that was enough information in the Bio for the time being and decided to stop adding to it right in the middle of typ
Dawg Byte Dave! It IS me - and I'm still going for gold in Asia, finally. You are sounding amazing, like the first day we met. Lots going on for you - let us chillax when I get back in November, yes? I feel I need some dirty electronic-ness and old school gadget sounds going on in my life...
Great to reconnect, and GREAT Fing profile, uhh! I'm going to throw one your videos on my blog if I can. Good Fortune, bravo, echo, delta, india, victor, india, november, echo...
Thanks, man! Im working on a live set right now... more stripped down and clattery. I think I've seen Inkwell, maybe a few times. Do they play Ableton from a custom built suitcase-looking rig? Or is that Snailrider?
