David Moore

At the forefront of contemporary instrumental music, the work of composer and pianist David Moore gently defies genre. Hailing from Kansas, his folk heritage, alongside his affinity for natural landscapes and spiritual inquiry, infuse his music today. Moore relocated to New York in 2004 where he met like-minded musicians exploring atmospheric, instrumental-based composition. From that creative circle, Bing & Ruth was born. As leader of the ensemble, Moore earned acclaim for his spaciously sublime compositions. He continues to expand his sound through collaboration, experimentation, and intuitive discipline. In addition to four full-length albums and five EPs with Bing & Ruth, Moore has also released collaborations with Steve Gunn (Let the Moon Be a Planet and Live in London) and Cowboy Sadness (Selected Jambient Works, Vol. 1). From his earliest works to his most recent albums Butterfly Gardens and Graze the Bell, his solo work only deepens the intimate presence central to his art. Merging trance-inducing atmospheres with melodic-driven composition, Moore’s art thrives in liminality. Across an expanding discography, his entrancing music offers a quiet, clarifying return to our shared humanity.
