David Moss

David Moss is an experimental vocalist, composer, and percussionist whose boundary-pushing work has made him a fixture in avant-garde and contemporary classical circles since the 1980s. Based in Berlin but deeply connected to New York’s Downtown scene, Moss is known for his wild, shape-shifting vocal techniques—think guttural growls, percussive mouth sounds, and operatic flights—that blur the line between voice and instrument. His projects, like the improv-heavy *Vocal Village Project* and collaborations with composers like Heiner Goebbels (*Surrogate Cities*) or Olga Neuwirth (*Lost Highway*), thrive on raw energy and theatricality. Releases like *Terrain* and *Fragmentary Blues* showcase his knack for turning chaos into structured spontaneity, while *At the Beach – Music for Voice and Electric Bass* highlights his playful, genre-defying curiosity. Whether solo or collaging soundscapes with others, Moss remains a fearless explorer of the human voice’s outer limits.
