about
|
 |
Greg Davis is a musician based
in Chicago. As an undergraduate at DePaul University in Chicago, he
studied classical and jazz guitar alongside composition and jazz
studies.
Davis is well known for forming a musical combination of acoustic
instruments and electronic processing which later became branded as
laptop-folk. But his field of work constantly grew and included drone
elements, harmonic song writing and sound/noise orientated works and
often crosses the boarders of contemporary and popular music. This lead
to several releases on labels like carpark, kranky, ache and many more
and to a vast amont of concerts and tours played during the last years.
In 1997, he started his own label, Autumn Records, which releases a
broad catalogue of fieldrecordings as part of the "Leaves series".
