David (Trent) Jaeger embodies a spirit of limitless adventure and versatility in the musical world, excelling as a composer, producer, and performer. His early explorations at the University of Wisconsin and the University of Toronto underscored his pioneering spirit as an advocate for experimentation around the emerging field of electronic music which produced a profound influence on Canadian contemporary music. He helped establish a cutting edge digital sound synthesis facility at the University of Toronto during the early 1970s. Embracing a new chapter at CBC in 1973, Jaeger curated Two New Hours, a landmark weekly radio series dedicated to bringing contemporary music to a wide audience. His collaboration with Glenn Gould allowed Jaeger to glean and share insights into the brilliance of the Canadian pianist.
