DeWalta, AKA David Koch, has pursued many sonic endeavors since his immersive musical upbringing, from symphony orchestras and improvisational jazz groups to his current explorations in electronic music, seeing release on labels such as Meander and Vakant. In anticipation of his debut album, Wander LP, on Haunt Music, Inverted Audio caught up with the German producer to discuss influences, inspiration and plans.

Koch’s records have explored a pretty interesting mix of genre and concept (the latter discussed below), and Wander displays a tight overview of the many ideas preceding it within the DeWalta pseudonym and before, featuring aspects of jazz, hip-hop, funk and house.
