Biography
David Vorhaus is a pioneer of electronic music and a member of the group White Noise.
Vorhaus studied both classical music (as a bassist) and electronics, and became interested in developing new styles of music while in London in the 1960's. Influenced by the classical avant-garde but also wishing to incorporate elements of pop music, he collaborated with several other musicians to create the first White Noise album (in fact credited to The White Noise) in 1968.
On subsequent albums, as technology developed, Vorhaus was able to continue the project as a solo act, also developing a busy career in library music and TV themes. White Noise tracks with their quirky use of electronics, sound samples and sequences are heard constantly around the world on TV documentaries, links and advertising, but the long form album projects "White Noise 2 - Concerto for Synthesizer", "White Noise 3 - Re-Entry", "White Noise 4 - Inferno" and "White Noise 5 - Sound Mind" extend the techniques and textures used to the maximum.
