David Chornow

A composer and sound artist whose practice centers on the listening process, this creator explores how sound shapes memory, space, and perception. Rooted in experimental techniques, the work traverses field recordings, synthesized textures, and live performances, weaving sonic environments that invite attentive listening. Through collaborations and solo projects, the artist investigates the boundaries between noise and music, presence and absence, and the listener’s role within an evolving acoustic landscape. Grounded in rigorous editing and thoughtful spatialization, the practice embraces ambiguity, restraint, and the tactile qualities of sound to reveal subtle connections between sound, place, and emotion. The result is a reflective, medium-spanning body of work focused on listening as an active, immersive experience.
