He directed and co-produced an art film / music documentary that won the award for Best Local Short at the Kingston Canadian Film Festival (2022). The documentary explores the music community on Wolfe Island and improvised music in particular. As a member of the Kingston Improvised Music Collective, he co-organized the (h)EAR Concert and Workshop series for improvised music in Kingston.

Parker has performed at the Tone Deaf Festival and the In The Soil Arts Festival (2016). He has collaborated with Stefan Christoff and released an EP of duets with the Howl Arts Collective. David has done sound and music design for theatrical productions by The Caravan Stage Company and Single Thread Theatre. His recordings have been released by VACANCY RECS (Niagara, ON).
