Acoustic electronica, alt- folk, alt-chamber music or experimental instrumental are vaguely in the ballpark, but as David says, his music makes a constellation of these musical styles but never quite rests in any one of them. ‘I was listening to a lot of electronica and Bollywood as I wrote these pieces and the influence seemed to rub off. It resulted in a set of pieces that combine unusual tonal colours and strange broken sounds that inhabit a space between acoustic and electronic worlds.’ Players on the album: Mark Carter (trumpet), Rachel Vernon (bass clarinet), Pat Barry (clarinet), David Long (banjo, guitars, electronics), Carolyn Mills (harp), Bridget Douglas (flute), Andrew Jarvis (tuba), Riki Gooch (percussion and electronics), Graham Kennedy (recording engineer). Cover by Karl Maughan.

He does this with his music. He deconstructs it and then rebuilds it in a way that is so beautiful and unique”. — Sean MacDonald https://www.davidlongnz.com/about daily 0.75 2025-05-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d9263e7891ac817f57f2e1b/cdd5b3a2-07d2-437e-8844-fa77e9d4cffa/DLong+Happy.JPG About David’s career has spanned over 40 years and seen him work on numerous projects to commercial and critical acclaim.
