Dave Wirth is a film composer, producer and indie folk artist based in Austin, Texas.

Wirth’s playful, insatiably curious approach to music makes his career diverse and eclectic. From scoring films like ‘The Mumbler’ to recording drums and guitar for intense rock duo Sprightly Moans - not to mention production projects spanning experimental ambient (Evil Gima) to EDM and hip-hop (The Double Headed Seagulls) - Wirth’s discography is woven from different disciplines, production styles and influences, all underpinned by a joyful refusal to be creatively restricted to a single genre.

Wirth’s instinctive ability to grasp the heart of any genre and design an original composition is backed by a formal music education in jazz and classical guitar. A Masters graduate of the prestigious, highly competitive Eastman School of Music, this comprehensive music foundation sets the gold standard for Wirth’s polished execution. His attention to detail with orchestration, acoustics, arrangement and workflow enables his innovation and reflects his versatility as an artist. Alongside composing and producing, Wirth is a much-loved guitar teacher at his school, The School of Feedback Guitar.

The prolific producer leans into the enigmatic nature of inspiration, noting that "there’s something about music that’s so damned mysterious. When the energy is just right, it can be magical. Few feelings are better than releasing a record and knowing it has the potential to affect someone’s life.”

Speaking of his hyper-creativity, Wirth says: “I have to create music or else I don’t feel happy. I often wake up in the middle of the night with a melody running through my head, and I have to record it quickly simply so that I can get back to sleep.”

Currently, the composer is working on film scores in his studio, and is set to put out an album of hip-hop beats under The Double Headed Seagulls later this year.
