David is a member of The Occulture, a Toronto-based collective called “the King Crimson of contemporary theoretical pataphysics” that investigates the esoteric imbrications of sound, affect, and hyperstition. Their collectively authored book—Ludic Dreaming: How to Listen Away From Contemporary Technoculture (Bloomsbury Academic, 2017)—is a how-to book for listening away from the seeming fatality of contemporary technologies. The Occulture organize annual Tuning Speculation conferences and workshops in Toronto. As an artist working with sound, David has presented work in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Russia, and on the web. www.davidcecchetto.net
