Künstler-Biographie
Self-described "textural guitarist" David Torn is well-known for his sophisticated, innovative playing style, which employs a self-developed digital looping system and blurs the lines between rock, jazz, and avant music. Torn's '80s ECM recordings with the Everyman Band, foundational documents in his transition from fusion to avant and abstract jazz-rock, led to his own Cloud About Mercury (1987), universally considered a classic of progressive music. After two decades with other labels -- a period that included the Mick Karn collaborations Door X (1992) and Polytown (1994), Torn returned to ECM with Prezens (2007). He has continued with the completely solo Only Sky (2015) and the power trio date Sun of Goldfinger (2019). A prolific sideman for the likes of David Bowie, Madonna, and Meshell Ndegéocello, Torn has also contributed to numerous film scores and has composed material for the big screen as well.
