Hamilton Beach started as the brainchild of Nathan Asman, who during the course of his advanced formal music education encountered a group of musicians that held complementary musical interests and ideas.  Joined by Travis Lien on drums the band you see before you was born.  Nathan takes the helm on the electronic side of things, using electronic instruments including both a Monome and a number of keyboards. He primarily utilizes Ableton Live to handle the electronically generated sound and Max/MSP for the programming side of things.  With Travis forming the rhythmic backbone on drums the sonic landscape is filled out, resulting in an organic musical entity aimed at merging the precision of electronic music technology with good old-fashioned human gusto. Our intent is to return the audience-to-musician relationship that lacks in so many otherwise phenomenal electronic musical experiences that have become the mainstay of the contemporary music scene. Nothing can replace the spontaneous joy of live music. That said, may we have this dance?

Music and such...

Haven’t had much time recently to perfect my art, working on mastering and editing.

All songs are original with artisanal synth patches. 

Gear list to come!

-Dan Mahoney Does Music-

// Multi-Genre/Multi-Instrumentalist from Eugene, OR //

// Performer, Composer, Producer, Arranger, Session Recording Artist (Remote+Location), Music Teacher //

Composer of contemporary classical music, I am pursuing a Ph.D at Eastman School of Music as a Sproull Fellow, Samuel Adler Scholar, and beneficiary of the Imagination Fund.  A student of David Liptak, I have also studied with Ricardo Zohn-Muldoon and Robert Morris at Eastman and with Robert Kyr and David Crumb during my master's study at U of Oregon.

Beneath the surface-lyricism of my music, I am concerned with the psychoacoustics of perception,  dense chordal textures toeing the boundaries of consensus-tonality, complexity in the guise of simplicity, reconciling the mathematics of music with the scope of imagination, emotional depth and contrapuntal integrity.
