David First has been studying and exploring psycho-acoustical
phenomena, drone musics, sacred mathematics and secret harmonic relationships for
more than 25 years. For the past ten years he has been using a unique spherical
tuning system he has developed based on the Schumann resonances (the hum of the
Earth) and for the last three he has implemented all he has learned in the service
of a monthly drone and acupuncture collaboration at Worksong Chinese Medicine in
Greenpoint, Brooklyn with acupuncturists Isobeau Trybula and Kate Henderson. First
has received many grants and awards for his work including those from the National
Endowment for the Arts, the Aaron Copland Foundation, Meet the Composer
Commissioning USA, and the prestigious Foundation for the Contemporary Arts Grant to
Artists.
