jazz painting revisited

Vertical Jazz - digital painting /art prints - Dan Beck -2006

Having strategically placing this piece in the new blog banner, I thought I would feature it again.

It was included for two reasons. First, I happen to feel like this is a strong piece - it reads well and is fun. There is the sense of flying sticks and it has the energy of music itself. And even small it is understandable.

Second, I wanted it to be obvious that this is also a site for music - it has not been the main focus but as I record more and get the podcast thing down - I anticipate this site becoming a fun place to listen as well as view.

In the course of my own developing creativity, I have found that art and music play off each other - and I in turn off them.

• Can’t Stand Still - not all that jazzy but it does have some improvisation and it seemed right to put up a track - even if it can be found on the website - a taste of 1danband

Digital Painting and Music: Interview

Music at Outhouse Studios

Thought it was about time I posted the first podcast produced for Outhouse Studios. The first audio file includes original music and an interview.

Dale Bayless asked various questions about the origins of outhouse studios and the inspiration for my art and music.

There are numerous areas which of course didn’t get covered, but I think it gives a sense of what I value and what I hope people might get from my work.

For further insight, in addition to blog articles, there is information at about and contact information.

There is a feed to be alerted of future podcasts. Some of what I hope to do in the future is to introduce new music and give insight and perhaps further explanation as to where a piece comes from and what it means.
