David Benjamin [360°] Magic Town Composer, Teacher and Guitarist David started at the age of six with guitar lessons while growing up in Wiesbaden, Germany. He would later also go on to receive training in piano playing, jazz guitar and music theory. Besides various bands and big bands, he played in a popular classical guitar duo from 1997 to 2001, giving over 70 concerts and winning the 2000 Hempel Foundation award in the process. After completing his school education he immediately moved to the German capital and took up studying classical guitar at the “Hanns Eisler” Academy of Music. Besides this main topic, his studies are primarily focused on compositional technique and analysis, both of which were required for the thesis he was working on: a composition for chamber music ensemble and ventilators. Since 2010 David's focus shifted more to the performative arts. In this context he acted, composed and played for pieces like eg "Wenn es Nacht wird: Männer am Rande de Nervenzusammenbruchs" by Falk Richter (Ballhaus Ost/Berlin/Premiere: March 26th 2010) and "Die Nibelungen" by Hebbel/Rinke (Staatstheater Stuttgart/ Premiere: June 26th 2010), both plays directed by Christian Weise. On June 18th 2011 he had Premiere with the theaterperformance "UND ZWEIFELLOS BIN ICH GLÜCKLICH" (Concept, Direction, Choreography and Performance: Sebastian Arranz und David Benjamin) at the Festival "La Notte" in Magdeburg in which he also did the Stage Design. Artisticly his main interest is the materiality and performance of sound: E.g. for his piece "und zweifellos bin ich glücklich" he utilized sand as a source for most of the sounds and used it also as a main part of the stage design.
