David Leikam is a San Francisco-based composer-performer and bandleader of the industrial jazz unit zBug. Being born with cerebral palsy has affected his body and speech, giving him a distinct view into his creative arts/music process and being largely a self-taught multi-instrumentalist. Since 1988, when he recorded his first solo piano piece while a member/producer of the San Francisco Bay Area improvisational music-based arts collective Friday Night Music (est. 1978, member 1986-1994 and 2000-06); David has carved out a unique largely improvisational sonic voice combining the elements of traditional music theory, audio engineering techniques, and visual architectural design.
This year, David is a new NS Design music instrument artist, has released 16 albums, and his zBug project now features Sheila Bosco — drums, keyboards; Sean Price — modular synthesizers; Timothy Orr — drums, percussion; and David Leikam — analog synthesizers, electric bass-cello, acoustic piano for a more rhythmic formation into 2016.
He has studied/performed music with Wadada Leo Smith, John Bergamo, Robert Rich, David Rosenboom, Art Jarvinen, and Eddie Gale.
