David Burraston (aka Dave Noyze & Bryen Telko) is an artist/scientist involved in technology and electronic music/art since the late 1970s. Self taught in the areas of music composition/technology, generative art, chaos and complex systems, he is recognised as a leading practitioner/theorist in the field of generative music, producing both peer reviewed publications and musical compositions.

He designs and builds his own synthesizer modules based on his theories of chaos and complex systems science.
He has been featured in many music/art publications (from The Wire Magazine to Realtime). He continues to release his own particular brand of field recordings, generative music and noise experiments on a number of labels such as Important Records, MIT Press, Alku, Cataclyst, Meds, Engraved Glass, Lo Editions, Taiga, Tochnit Aleph, Sevcom Edition, Beta Bodega Coalition, Creativity & Cognition Studios and his own Noyzelab imprint.
