David William Ross is a guitarist, composer, producer living in New England. His work is at once borne of the classical tradition while still drawing freely from non-western, avant-garde, and popular sources; a voice that is distinct and unique but also holistic and encompassing. His work has been described as ephemeral and fleeting as well as rational and composed; noted for intricacy and complexity as well as for clarity and simplicity. DWR merges the disparate disciplines of his field into a single unified artistic effort to bring the creative impulse to light. Whether he is performing the work of J.S. Bach, writing an aleatoric performance piece, or recording a folk-rock band, his work, in effort and effect, in sound and words, is always grounded in the visceral experience of the art, an impulse of the art itself.
