High Frontier - Management Mode 3

Growing up in Darlington Pennsylvania, David Louthan started out developing his music skills by picking up a guitar at age 13, and this self produced singer songwriter has never looked back.

It seems it took a while for the music production bug to bite fully, but in 2006 David set about stepping up his musical goals, and focused himself on seriously producing and recording the catalogue of songs he had started building up through his formative years.

David cites a diverse range of influences on his life, from the retro sounds of Tom petty, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and The Doors, to the slightly later sound of bands like The Red Hot Chili Peppers. When you listen to David's music the influences are evident, and he handles straight ahead acoustic guitar based tracks such as the Bob Dylanesque 'Just a Kid’ as skillfully as more psychedelic influenced tracks such as 'Misguided Fear'

The term singer songwriter is often used to define a genre of its own, but most artists who classify themselves as such generally want to impart the fact that the songs are telling the story.

Running through David's playlist of songs on his SoundCloud page, he tells a story of humble determination in pursuit of your dreams, with tracks such as 'Family' reminding the listener of the age old adage that if they follow their heart, they wont go far wrong in life.

Something I'm sure we can all relate to is the tale of growing up too quickly and succumbing to the pressures of adult life. Sometimes we'd all like a day off and spend the day in the proverbial candy shop, reliving those carefree days of our childhood. David's message in the song 'Just A Kid' reminds us that there's a higher power helping us out in life, which should give us permission that quitting our worries, and taking time out to get in touch with our childlike side wouldn't do us any harm now and again.

A similar theme runs through the laid back piano and acoustic guitar melodies of ‘There’s A Place’ which arouses a very 60’s influenced feeling, encouraging us to find that part of our psyche that gives us the freedom and serenity to create and visualize our dreams. Going by the creativity contained in his catalogue of sad songs, I’d say that in his music David Lee Louthan has definitely found ‘his place’.

Music is the only step that combines the abstract to the concrete.
Antonin Artaud (Source unknown)

I want to tell you something about me. I will not be long.
I'm always looking for the best way to express what's inside me.
I live a normal life
I never paid attention to appear better than I am.
Moody emotional and complex, are three adjectives that describe me best.
Mine is an ongoing investigation.
A desire, an emotion, a shock, a fight, a note, a song, a phrase ...

Music is the harmony of the soul.
Alessandro Baricco, Castles of anger, 1991

The progressive is the only label that I would bring.
I love to travel between all the nuances of sound from electronic to acoustic.

Genesis, Area, Van der Graaf Generator, but Arjen Lucassen, Mike Patton, Kevin Moore, or Herbie Hancock or Louis Armstrong and even Massive attack Ozric Tentacles .... some of my influences.

I always shared my music for free with anyone

I hope you have not lost too much time to read these few lines.

I do not think you are interested in my music studies, the band in which I played or festivals in which I participated.
La musica è il solo passaggio che unisca l'astratto al concreto.

ITALIANO

Antonin Artaud (Fonte sconosciuta)

Voglio parlarvi un pò di me. Non ci metterò molto.
Porto nel cuore le mie origini meridionali,sempre alla ricerca del modo migliore per esprimere quello che ho dentro.
Lavoro, ho una famiglia e una vita normale. 
Non ho mai badato ad apparire migliore di quello che sono. 
Lunatico emotivo e complesso,sono tre aggettivi che mi descrivono meglio. 
La mia è una ricerca continua .
Un desiderio, un'emozione, uno shock, uno scontro, una nota, una canzone, un fraseggio... 

La musica è l'armonia dell'anima. 
Alessandro Baricco, Castelli di rabbia, 1991

Il progressive è l'unica etichetta che mi sento di portare.
 Amo viaggiare tra tutte le sfumature del suono che sia elettronico o acustico. 

Genesis , Area, Van der Graaf Generator, ma anche Arjen Lucassen, Mike Patton , Kevin Moore, oppure Herbie Hancock o Louis Armstrong e anche Massive attack Ozric Tentacles .... alcune delle mie influenze.

Non ho mai rinunciato a condividere la mia musica con chiunque volesse condividerla. 

Spero di non averti fatto perdere troppo tempo nel leggere queste poche righe.

Non credo tu sia interessato ai miei studi musicali, alle band a cui ho suonato o ai festival a cui ho partecipato.

Qualora tu fossi interessato a ulteriori informazioni o a collaborare con il mio progetto, 
ecco tutti i miei contatti
