About Me

David Milo is a percussionist/composer who floates in the worlds between very traditional styles of india, africa, the orient, asia and a contemporary northwestern expression. David is a former student of master percussionist Trilok Gurtu and through that influence he adopted the same playing style sitting on the floor with a special designed drumkit mixed with diverse percussion instruments.
"My motivation is a deep curiosity for finding a sort of truth in my music beyond a commercial point of view but with an energy or expression that appeal to the present time"

UPDATE August: Adding drums and percussion on top of the music to 'SignumAxis' by Choreographer Sølvi Edvardsen. Music by Palle Mikkelborg.

Whosoever wishes to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details. Knowledge is not intelligence. In searching for the truth be ready for the unexpected. Change alone is unchanging. The same road goes both up and down. The beginning of a circle is also its end. Not I, but the world says it: all is one. And yet everything comes in season.
