DAVID TORN

brought to you by:

Guitarist David Torn brings his “considered virtuosity” (Pitchfork) and “splinteringly Hendrixian” (The Guardian) music to Columbia for the first time ever. Torn’s innovative playing ignores boundaries between rock, jazz and electronic music, and the result is a unique body of collaborative and solo work. Over the decades he has recorded with artists such as David Bowie, Laurie Anderson, John Legend, Tori Amos, David Sylvian, and many others, while exploring adventurous terrain on albums with musicians such as Tim Berne, Bill Bruford, Don Cherry, Jan Garbarek, Tony Levin, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Craig Taborn, to name a few. Torn brings together “the pyrotechnics of classic rock and fusion” and “a ruminative, personal style” that generate “the feeling of being ensconced in sound; your ear is caught in a battle between gravity and weightlessness” (New York Times). This a rare opportunity for music lovers in the region to experience live, in a special setting, the magic of this “master sonic texturalist-guitarist” (Something Else Reviews).
