“David Eddleman creates an authentic, original musical landscape in his compositions. Stubborn in his resistance to trend-of-the moment schools of composition, he has a distinct compositional voice that moves nimbly through contemporary techniques—always smart with dramatic and expressive impact. David is full of surprises. He will write the simplest of music when appropriate (he is a major influence in the field of music for young people); but he will also impress you with complexity and sophistication when he chooses. His music can be both hard-edged and beautiful, mischievous and playful. That may bring to mind a few other composers such as Charles Ives, or Henry Cowell—but in spirit only. David Eddleman is a true, authentic, original American composer.”
