David Cross

The violinist for Ruler Crimson from 1972 to 1974, David Combination afterwards launched a solo career using the David Combination Music group, which featured a fascinating sound made up of violin, bass, keyboards, drums, and saxophones. David Combination was created in Turnchapel, Britain, near Plymouth. After departing Ruler Crimson, Combination produced the improvisational rock and roll group Ascend, and spent the greater area of the 1970s and 1980s composing for and dealing with movie theater groups in a number of capacities. His initial solo discharge was Memos from Purgatory (1989), that was afterwards staged by Combination. Using the David Combination Band, Combination transferred between improvisational parts and more constructed ones. As the music bears some similarity to 1970s Ruler Crimson, it really is slower-paced with musical phrases and tips that appear away from nowhere and vanish as quickly, leading some to contact his music underdeveloped. 1998’s Exiles was even more song-oriented and highlighted guest performances by Crimson alumni Robert Fripp, Peter Hammill, John Wetton, and Peter Sinfield. In 1999, Combination formed Noisy Information.
