David Cunningham was born in Ireland in 1954. His work ranges from pop music to gallery installations including several collaborations with visual artists. His first commercial success came with The Flying Lizards' single "Money," an international hit in 1979. His first solo album Grey Scale was released in 1976 on Cunningham's own Piano label.

Originally released in 1976, Cunningham's first solo album Grey Scale has become a landmark statement of DIY minimalist composition – continuing in the vein of the wild explosion of arthouse experimentation from the early '70s. Cunningham, then a student at the Maidstone College of Art in Kent, drafted fellow student non-musicians and crafted an endlessly shifting sonic palette with an improvisor's keen sensitivity to space, texture and tone.

Recommended for fans of Dome, This Heat and Pascal Comelade.
