With much excitement, I can finally officially announce that the Fabric of Life CD release date is April 17th. There’ll be 300 strictly limited edition copies with awesome custom packaging + extras for $20, the rest will be standard packaging, but also include a little surprise coolness in the packaging artwork.
New store on my website coming soon, which will cover digital and physical sales, with worldwide shipping.
Digital release on iTunes, and hundreds of other 3rd party stores will be approx 3-4 weeks after.
There’ll be a CD release party on the 17th to celebrate the release, which is a fundraiser for Summer Rain Recordings and Controlled Burn (the fire spinning collective). Cover is $10 which includes a free copy of the CD, personally signed if you wish. Release party details and flier below.

Free track for download. All I ask in return is for your email address, with a no spam guarantee, just so I can infrequently let you know about new music, album release, and occasional shows.
Just finished a track, I was messing around with an old vocal sample i had from a remix competition over 10 years ago, and came up with this track. I can’t really do anything commercially with it as I can’t trace the origin and find the owner of the vocal, so thought I may as well give it away. A little different to my usual stuff, but hopefully you’ll enjoy it just as much.
I’ve decided to give away a copy of one of the tracks from my forthcoming album as a special pre-master preview. It’s a track that nobody’s yet heard, and it won’t be aired anywhere else until the album is released in November, so you’ll be the first people to hear it. It’ll also give you a sneak peek at the album art embedded into the track too.
All you need to do to get it is join my music page on facebook, then check the updates tab on your mail/inbox page on facebook, where you’ll see an update from me providing the link.
Founder of Summer Rain Recordings, David grew up in the seventies, surrounded by music (at least until he took his mother’s record player apart at the age of 6 to see how it worked). His favourite toys were those that made or recorded sound. One of his most loved being the Stylaphone, which he was given at the age of 4.
David began Djing at the age of 18, playing local events and clubs whenever the opportunity arose, often for free, solely for the enjoyment and satisfaction it gave him.
Whilst at University in Manchester, UK, David co formed and ran a successful club night for 3 years, playing to a loyal, continuously growing crowd every fortnight. Success in this arena lead to David securing many bookings at local clubs and events around the North West of England.
Through his love for Djing, David felt an increasing desire to create his own music, and explore the soundscapes that were building up in his mind.
The day that profoundly changed David’s life occurred by chance. A friend took him into the University music studio, briefly showed him how to turn the keyboards and equipment on, gave a ten minute lesson in the music production software on the computer, and left the room. 6 hours flew by, completely hooked, he had found the path he had been searching for since he was a child.
Ever since, every penny he shouldn’t have spent, every spare moment he has, goes on letting emotions flow through sound.
Through the last 10 years David has been busy spending all his time exploring all the musical avenues that intrigue him, as well as concentrating on his own tracks, he has worked on numerous remixes, written, scored, and performed many contemporary theatre underscores and soundtracks, music for hair shows, and music for various websites.
David’s records and releases under the Auditory Canvas alias and David Leeson alias on Summer Rain Recordings, the label that David founded and setup to help artists get what they deserve, and also give something back via charity donations. David donates 25% of all royalties received from the sales of his EPs to the charity NextAid, Summer Rain Recordings also donate 25% of all profits from the EPs.
