1) Kick/Snare Set - Longwalkshortdock performs dancable, DJ style Techno, Kick-Snare, Electro, Acid, House, Big Beat, Electronica music with laptop, synths, vocals, samplers, effects, electronic gizmos and drum machines. Party Time... upbeat and slammin! get your flail on...
2) Free Form Set - Longwalkshortdock performs a wide array of musical styles. Created Live with laptop, synths, guitars + bass, vocals, loopers, effects, drummachines, and other various devices. Always dynamic and random this type of show will cover larger ground. You might dance, you might cry, you might nod, you might rock the fuck out. You might... We'll see... its whatever I want, so that means..."Watch out, my behaviours erratic..."
3)Ambient Set - Longwalkshortdock performs a free form, loose and spontanious spectrum of swirling synths, vocals and guitar over field recordings and sampled environments with occational down-tempo clicky beats. Bring you cigarettes, coffee and a pillow. Drooooones are your frieeeend.... Be still little one.....be at peace....
I look forward for the chance to entertain you. Godspeed!

Add to My Profile | More VideosLongwalkshortdock esentially started the first time Dave King heard gritty electronic music in early eightys videogames. Strongly influenced by these sounds and melodys, Dave started recording and looping segments as a child. He also got a taste for sampling and recording; Taping segments of his piano practice to fool his parents into thinking he was practicing in the other room. Dave then noticed he was writting his profile in the third person......... After briefly considering the pretentious implications of doing this he decided to continue on with it. After the early years of video game loops, longwalkshortdock went through many years of musical genre infidelity and learned to play many instruments in many styles. After collecting gear, ideas, and collaborators, Dave decided to move from his home town of Calgary to Vancouver to take a degree in sound production and recording. Dave has worked in the studio and played live shows with a host of talented artists such as : Phil Western, Kris Benoit, Josh Hall, Sounds Good on Paper, Miopus, Grahman Blacksmith, Eric Staal, Stephan Fisher, and Chris Carr to name a few. Since then longwalkshortdock has been putting together a large body of work both for album release and for live use in the hopes of creating a positive ear related experience for "the people". Dave then decided that was enough information in the Bio for the time being and decided to stop adding to it right in the middle of typ
