Dave Madden's (aka dj webern, nonnon, Chomsky at the Bit, Wasabe P) earliest memories have nothing to do with playing ball, or going to grandma's, or riding a tricycle around his hometown of Ogden, Utah: they involve pondering the oddity of the Magical Mystery Tour album art, playing a one-string guitar along with "Paint it Black" and trying to figure out what the hell some guy meant by "I am the Lizard King" - thank heavens for hippie moms!

After spending his teenage years obsessed with Bauhaus and Depeche Mode, Dave attended university to study sound engineering/jazz guitar. He soon realized that being behind the console isn't where he wanted to be so, on a whim, he switched to composition and began writing all the weird academic music that chases everyone out of Humanities 101 - focusing on computer assisted composition and, specifically, improvisation. He uses percussion, laptop and electronics to perform and /or DJ all over the world, from Montreal to Chico, California, in universities, museums and coffee shops, preferring the types of crowds who enjoy John Cage back to back with Anti-Pop Consortium and his own realtime manipulation of both.

Dave has worked for video game companies, film, television and all other manner of music-as-commodity companies. Now post-grad school, Dave spends his time still in front of a console, though listening to his own music; it ends up as either electroacoustic concrete meets hip-hop or concrete comprised of field recordings, found sounds / objects and feedback. He also writes about and reviews music for squidsear.com, In Utah This Week, SplendidMagazine.com and SLUG Magazine.
