Official Like a Whistle

Written by Art Webb | August 05, 2010

The Rowdy Row' 5000

Art's Birthday Bash was such a hit, the venue decided to bring us back on Saturday, August 7th @ 12th & Porter!  This time Kidsmeal and I will be sharing the stage with a very special guest, sub-ID (1320 Records) performing a solo Live PA set.  I'll be featuring new 'This is ART' tracks and a fresh new live production setup, including a DJ table filled with my latest and greatest electronic gear.  We'll also be hosting a raffle for free This is ART teeshirts as well as offering package deals on extremely limited edition This is ART CD/Poster/Teeshirt combinations.  It's gonna get rowdy...

This is ART (Solo) Fall Tour

We're gearing up for a tasty run of shows, and the markets are stretching further out as promoters begin requesting show dates for this coming Fall.  I'm really excited to have the opportunity to share my musical discoveries with new fans across the region.  I'm also becoming more adept at utilizing my equipment and plan on giving nothing short of stellar performances, especially when it comes to the music production side.  I've gotten an immensely positive response from friends and family and its been inspiring to have the belief and support from you all.  It's only become bigger and better thanks to the uplifting vibes we've all created over the past year!

Upcoming 'This is ART' Album

It finally hit me that I actually have an albums worth of tracks nearly complete and ready to be released!  This album is going to be beat driven with raunchy bass lines and energetic builds while also blending downtempo movements into the mix. I enjoy music that breathes with the ebb and flow of natural progressions.  I'm hoping to meet in the middle between music you can get down to on the dance floor as well as something you can listen to by yourself.  Release date tentative, I might decide to leak a little bit of this stuff on the backend of the website.  Cheers!

This is ART at Camp Bisco

Written by Art Webb | June 30, 2010

This is ART Plays Camp Bisco 9

camp biscoIt's true, This is ART is actually scheduled to perform at CAMP BISCO 9 on Saturday, July 17th from 1am - 2am at the Sunrise Silent Disco tent! Each participant is issued a pair of wireless headphones that will pick up on the DJ's audio signal from within the tent. This is ART will be performing in ((STEREOPHONIC)) sound, using extremely realistic 3D soundscapes for the sake of confusing the brain into thinking its in another physical dimension! The trick is by using a recording technique called Binaural recording:

"The result is a listening experience that spatially transcends normally recorded stereo, since it accurately reproduces the effect of hearing a sound in person, given the 360° nature of how human ears pick up nuance in the sound waves. Binaural recordings can very convincingly reproduce location of sound behind, ahead, above, or wherever else the sound actually came from during recording." http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_recording

Kingston is about 40-50 minutes from Downtown Knoxville which lends itself as an incredible place to optically view the visible parts of the Milky Way Galaxy!

This is ART at Dexfest 2010

Miles Cramer will be moving to Asheville, NC to develop a health-conscious loose leaf tea distribution business called Smiles Tea. Based around fair-trade and holistic practices, Smiles Tea is a fine tea company focused on bringing the pleasures and benefits of loose leaf tea to everyone and making this intricate habit easy for those on the go.  As for me, I'll continue to perform under the stripped down alias of This is ART, while also producing and remixing tracks for artists, creating sleek website designs, and helping book shows for upcoming regional talent. See y'all soon, and have an amazing summer!
