An artist, writer and musician, David Stent is a contributing editor of Dispatx. His previous work has included prose and poetry projects, video and sound installations, series of drawings and musical performances. He has recently been awarded with a three-year research scholarship at the University of Reading.

David also maintains an ongoing interest in free improvisation and is a member of Oxford Improvisers, a collective group of musicians performing both as individuals and as an improvising orchestra. He hopes to continue incorporating aspects of this interest into the work of Dispatx.
