About

David Tibet (born David Michael Bunting, 1960, Malaysia) is an English musician, poet and visual artist, best known as the founder and sole constant member of Current 93 - an experimental group he has led since 1982. Starting out in London's industrial noise scene, he steered the project toward what he calls 'apocalyptic folk': acoustic instrumentation woven through with electronics, and lyrics drawing on Christian mysticism, Gnostic texts and esoteric literature. Over four decades he has collaborated with artists including Nick Cave, Shirley Collins, William Basinski and Rickie Lee Jones, and his archive is held at Cornell University as a significant resource for the study of British underground music.
