David Michael Tibet is the founder of the Hallucinatory Patripassianist rock group Current 93, as well as his sidereal project, MYRNINEREST.

Born in Malaysia in 1960, David has created a unique, highly influential and extraordinarily powerful body of work – spanning music, painting, poetry and translation. He has collaborated with many remarkable and idiosyncratic artists such as Tiny Tim, Nick Cave, Antony, William Basinski, Rickie Lee Jones, Reinier van Houdt, Norbert Kox, Nick Blinko, Tony McPhee and Shirley Collins. He has also worked extensively with Steven Stapleton’s Nurse With Wound, Thomas Ligotti, Michael Cashmore, Ben Chasny, Andrew Liles, Baby Dee and the late Jhonn Balance.

Since he skipped into C93 in 1982, he has released over 9,300 albums and singles and featured on many other artists’ recordings. His paintings have been shown in solo exhibitions at New York’s White Columns and at London’s Isis Gallery, at which his first book of paintings, Some Gnostic Cartoons, was released. The founder of record labels Durtro, Maldoror, Coptic Cat, and The Spheres, he also created the publishing imprints Ghost Story Press, Durtro Press, Coptic Cat Press, and The Spheres, through which he has published nearly 50 books including, but not limited to, titles by both the seminal horror writer Thomas Ligotti as well as by the arch-decadent Count Stenbock, many of the latter’s works being published by David for the first time.

David is presently editing the Complete Works of Count Stenbock. David’s long-awaited book of his own collected writings, Sing Omega, was published in 2014. The Moons At Your Door, his anthology of writings—mainly supernatural—which have most inspired his work, was published by Strange Attractor in 2016; it also included translations by David from Coptic and Akkadian. He is presently working on a collection of his translations of Coptic apocryphal texts, as well as one of his translations of magical texts from Akkadian.
