The collaboration with Davidson on A Tale of Impermanence for NDT2 played an enormous role in shaping the overall outcome of the creation. Having the ability to take a single concept, and then challenge ideas to create a combined vision was a valuable and an enriching experience. The score felt current and original. Bold and emotionally charged. Having a dancer create music also offers an added dimension of understanding – we speak the same ‘language’… and he’s simply great to be around! I look forward to working together again.

Davidson’s compositions always relate to the theme and connect with the viewer/listener throughout many layers with high sense for detail and great complexity. They make a world that stands on its own yet unify with the visual in one whole. His work is organic and effortless.
