David Linton has been played on NTS shows including Peking Spring w/ Jon K, with Lumbago Dub first played on 22 October 2021.

Originally a percussionist David Linton has created sound for many collaborative dance, theater, & performance settings since his arrival in downtown NYC at the end of the 1970's.

By the later 80's - after a good deal of percussion work along side other musicians - Rhys Chatham, Glenn Branca, Lee Ranaldo, & Elliot Sharp among others - he was equally known for his live wired solo electro-acoustic drumkit performances:

His 1986 solo LP 'Orchesography' (on Glen Branca’s Neutral Label) was an influential collusion of 'early' sampling tek with street beats and theatrical post modernism.

By the early 90's he had retired from 'live' performing in the 'improvised' electro-acoustic vein to concentrate on the vocabulary of entirely electronic music and the resultant paradigm shift in performance priorities that this new 'compressed' format suggested.

Throughout the 90's Linton became a dedicated advocate for the expansion and appreciation of realtime performance in electronic media through the design and/or production of event/environments such as 'SoundLab' (1996) and eventually 'UnityGain' (1997-present).

Since 2002 Linton's fascination with instantaneous collaborative audio visual communication among select units of electronic musicians and visualists has assumed the form of a live television Manhattan cable/webcast project - UGTV - Unitygain Television - for which he was producer/director - and an occasional performer.

Since 2004 David's primary project has been the solo audio visual vehicle - the Bicameral Research Sound & Projection System…

With his Bicameral Research Sound & Projection System David Linton aims to make vibrational wave induced perceptual energy states manifest by deploying interconnected measures of electric sound & light in live action with hand manipulated objects in physical (live camera) space. He employs an integrated recursive audio & video feedback system of his own perversely simple design modulated by freehand intervention to deliver vigorous eye, ear, and - sometimes - body shaking realtime audio visual performances from which a kind of retro-tech animistic ritual "medicine show" emerges where subject and object blur.
