.....to carry on.....

About Me

Treiben is a contemporary music output from Dave Johnson. Essentially it's music that doesn't fit in with my ambient works. Nor does it fit in with any of my other projects. However it is music that I like and am very proud of.

I've never been a great writer of lyrics and so this is generally done by my other half, Jacs. I'm hoping that this project will be exploratory, pleasing to the ear and reasonably contemporary.

I hope you all enjoy what I'm doing and you'll get loads of exclusives on this myspace page.
