ABOUT

This is ART features the live musical performance of Art Webb on bass guitar and live electronics. A self-taught bassist and multi-genre producer from Nashville, TN, ART unleashes raw musical creativity in the form of improvised deep sub-bass lines, broken break-beats, and spine-melting synth melodies over an array of self-recorded samples and stereophonic soundscapes. The result is a distinctively rich sound, complete with melodic tones and organic structures while paying direct homage to the true forms of underground street music. Art's unique interpretation of music has earned him immense credibility within two short years of performing, opening for acts such as Pretty Lights, Shpongle, EOTO, Infected Mushroom and Big Gigantic, as well as gaining noteworthy performances at Camp Bisco 9, Dexfest and Boombutywah. Art owes credit to such musical pioneers as Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain, all the way up to Amon Tobin and STS9 for inspiring him to continually push the boundaries of genres in every fashion: drum & bass, hip-hop, grunge, even jazz and dubstep are tools used to breath new life into the forgotten music of the past. There's an undeniable feeling of satisfaction to hear and perceive the kind of experience This is ART creates on stage when a musician attempts to express the inexpressible.
