David J. Haskins, an artist from Northampton, England, embodies a multifaceted creative identity that includes being a bassist, singer, songwriter, playwright, film scorer, director, poet, author, and spoken-word artist. He has developed a rich artistic career since 1978, still actively engaging audiences with diverse expressions. His upcoming tour features a blend of spoken word, music, and a new album titled The Mother Tree, showcasing poetry from his latest work Rhapsody, Threnody & Prayer. The performance highlights the interconnectedness and atmospheric quality of his artistic contributions.
The Germans have a word for it: gesamkunstwerk. Literally, it describes everything under one umbrella, all the types of art that one does collectively being one big piece of work.
There's a resonance that you can find from paintings to poems to songs. It all resonates, and I do see it as one big dollop of work.
On his current tour, audiences experience both David J's spoken-word pieces, his music, and a hybridization of the two forms.
The Mother Tree features J reciting from his latest book of poetry, Rhapsody, Threnody & Prayer, with musical accompaniment on some tracks by RAQIA.
