David Worrall (born 25 October 1954 in Newcastle NSW) is an Australian composer and sound artist working in sound sculpture and immersive polymedia (a term he coined in 1986) as well as traditional instrumental music composition. He performs and exhibits internationally. Worrall studied musical composition at The University of Sydney with Peter Sculthorpe, Ross Edwards, where he also studied mathematics and Western philosophy, and at The University of Adelaide with Richard Meale and Tristram Cary.
Worrall's creative practice encompasses a number of endeavours: instrumental and electroacoustic composition, sound poetry and sound installations including those that utilise PIPES (Portable Immersive Polymedia Event Spaces)., sometimes referred to as Portable Event Theatres (PETs). He is a programmer in several computer languages and has developed software for music composition, text transformation and sonification. His PhD dissertation was on the development of a software framework for the sonification of information in large or high-frequency multivariate data sets, such as those from securities trading engines.
