I've been "working on music" with Grant K since 1997. We got about ten or more albums worth of music. One of our full-lengths called Swallow All Letters was released on Hot Link Records with William "Bill" Driegert on drums and Wallace "Wally" Campbell as executive producer. We're currently trying to figure out what to do with our most recent album entitled Risen From The Rails (2010).

Music project with Darren Frayne and Rob Polivka, featuring songs. I'm mostly playing bass.

My solo post smooth jazz project. I'm mostly just focusing on remixing friends' tracks and doing electronic covers of my favorite songs. I've been developing the "remix-cover" (I probably should trademark™ that), wherein the song is a remix of the original artist's audio, but I sing the vocals and add more instrumentation. It's slightly better than karaoke. The 2008 album Remix 'n' Mingle was released as "INO-034" on Instincto Records of Austin, Texas in June 2008.

The bastard step-child of Climate, but without the good parts. It was my first solo music project since I played Radiohead and Guy Clark covers alone in my dorm room in college. And it's kind of alright. It's almost scheduled for deletion. The artwork for the website is better than the music. Two albums are the results. One is synth-pop-oriented and the other is ambient-oriented with no drums or vocals. It's all available for free at the Thompson and Newberry web site linked above. Listen with caution!!

An artistic tribute to the late great Russian-German composer, Alfred Schnittke. Many thanks to B. A. Eisemann for introducing me to Schnittke while driving the back roads of the 75080 with the windows down. I really wasn't meaning to cause any negative controversy with this web site, but a few people left some unpleasant comments in the guestbook (now removed from the domain). However, I think Alfred would like the site. I was in Hamburg -- completely coincidentally -- the day he died. I hope people understand that Schnittke Is Everywhere™.

An art gallery web site which posts art from almost anyone off the internet. Originally created with T Stadler, the purpose of lowfashion.com was never very understandable or well-defined, so it sort of faltered and dried up. I'm thinking of turning this into a database of North Texas visual artists.

Brain child of Austin artist Tim Doyle. I did all the technology legwork, including implementing the catalog on the Network Solutions MonsterCommerce platform. And I keep things updated.

The song publishing umbrella at ASCAP for all the Climate Incorporated stuff. The actual "Bryan's Cabin" is the small pioneer cabin that sits in the middle of the Dallas County Historical Plaza in front of the courthouse.

A site I designed and maintain for Aboca's Italian Grill in Richardson. Arthur Pira is the best chef in Dallas. He catered our wedding rehearsal dinner as a gift. In exchange I'm running his website. Shelley and I used to eat at his old restaurant (Paesano's in Plano) every Thursday night. We would drink a carafe of red wine and eat a spaghetti bolognese with two house salads. Arthur's house dressing is incredible. It's the same one as at Aboca's, as far as I can tell. And at either restaurant, you start off your meal with sourdough bread, freshly baked in house (of course), and a bowl of heavily-herbed and -garlicked olive oil. Arthur also opens Aboca's up occasionally on Sunday nights for live music (the restaurant is usually closed on Sundays). My friends in Early Lines have put shows together there a few times. If you live in North Texas, you need to eat there.

A sad story. With Grant K as co-engineer, the studio recorded several bands; had too many "artistic" differences with its clients, or just plain screwed up; lost one band's entire session due to a hard drive crash the day before the data backup device arrived (many thanks to the Roland VS-2480™); and finally just gave up because it was destroying Climate's work schedule. It was a massive failure that ran up a lot of debt. This was expedited by a gentleman named Tylan Gaines, Jr. of 13102 Roselle Avenue, Apartment # 3, Holly Park, California 90250, phone # 323-281-2187 who sent a very good forged Washington Mutual cashier's check for the above-mentioned $3400 Roland VS-2480™ recorder sold over Harmony-Central.com and shipped via FedEx™ C.O.D. The forgery was so good that Etrade Bank™, the worst bank on earth, left it deposited for over three weeks before they closed the account, caused many bills and checks to bounce, accused me of forgery, and sent me into financial near-ruin. The Studio sincerely hopes that all of Mr. Gaines' recordings turned out amazing. And that the hard drive crashed irreparably before they could be mixed down.

The apartment-based label started by Climate for release of its own material. Special Friends ended up releasing Alexander Rapstine's highly-anticipated break-out solo album under the name Enitspar. The label was only the beginning of plans for a Special Empire of Companies including Special Friends Groceries and Special Friends Theme Parks (including HoboParks USA™).

I felt bad that I'm the only "Nathan Beach" who gets to own the "nathanbeach.com" domain, so I'm sharing nathanbeach.net with all the others. If your name is "Nathan Beach", too, you can have your own @nathanbeach.net email address and/or web site. Join the club!*

*If your name is "Nathan Beach".

A site I wrote and maintain for my neighborhood association.

Finally, the "artist web site in a box" in a box is on its way -- a catalogue raisonné manager for the web era, you might say. I'm excited to have Faris McReynolds, a professional artist with a real catalog, on board as a guinea pig.

A Television Personalities cover band. Coming soon to a rock and roll venue near you... I have been trying to get this thing going for a long time. I really just don't have room for one more music project at the moment and unfortunately the cover band one has to wait. I tabbed out (or copied from the Internet) most of And Don't The Kids Just Love It, had some practices with the old Climate line up of Bill, Grant, and me, but then it fizzled out for a while. It's going to happen eventually. I mean, we already have the domain name and everything.
